I try to focus on my target and forget about the water. Think about one of my favorite shot with that club in my hand.
I played with a guy who spent a couple of seasons on the Eurpean Tour. On the tee of one particular hole, he asked me what I saw from the box. "Trap short right, another 250 or so yards right, water left."

"In all of that," he said, "where's the fairway?"

He went on to tell me that, in his opinion, the only time I should acknowledge trouble is when deciding which side of the tee box to tee it up. He said if your mind focuses on trouble, your swing will find it. Focus on my target and only my target.

Ever since, I can honestly say that I barely ever see trouble. I see direction and bail-out areas, sure. But with regard to fearing trouble, there's none.

Amazing advice, I think I'll have to use this!

Very sound advice. I liked his probative question to get in the players head.

When it comes to water, just don't think about it, look at the green or fairway and the water disappears.
