Some of Golf's conumdrums:

If you focus on score, you aren't focused on shot making
If you are thinking about your swing, you'd better be on the driving range and not in a match
If you're not thinking about pussie, you're not concentrating (Sam Snead)
The harder you try, the worse you will play (PapaD)
If you care too much, you'll score badly
Nobody can hit a good shot when they're pissed off
The only thing you'll see when you look up too soon is a bad shot (PapaD Senior)
Nobody cares what score you shoot except for you (PapaD Senior)
If you try to play to your opponent's game, he'll win - beat him with yours (PapaD)
It's just a game - the more relaxed you are, the more fun you'll have and the better you will score
