Bagger i've experimented with this in my game and i have to say i've had the opposite effect that you experienced. I love the precision involved in aiming at a specific blade of grass or dimple on the ball. But it seems that every time i intensely focus on an aiming point like that i forget to make a golf like motion. It's like the more i focus on a specific point the more my mind forgets about what my hands are doing.
I seem to play my best golf not particularly conscious of the ball at all, just thinking completely about my hands.
That's kinda what the dude was saying . . . that your eyes have to be relaxed not to move around. So you just keep them relaxed and just kinda gaze is what he said.

It's easier to drive a car when you are focused on the road but sort of letting your subconscious (sic) mind do the work. I'm not sure that the focus can be quite that "blurry" on the ball, but I think that the swing works better in that autopilot state than it does when mechanics are in the frontal lobe.
probably spelt that wrong,but you get the picture.
anyway having trained in karate as a nipper,i was taught not to stare but to use peripheral vision, as you become more aware and movement seems to be slowed.
you can easily try this if you have some sort of fan in the house.gaze to the side of the fan and the blades go slower than if you stare at them.turn on the fan first or there will be no change!
A golfer can hit a nice shot with his/her eyes closed.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
