Seeing all of that open space to the left and right make my ball either skid in the oil or not get over there.

Put blinders on your ball so it doesn't notice...

Pretend it's the head pin?  Oh wait... Same problem! ;)

Nevermind.

Take a deep breath, FOCUS on target, miss it anyway...

(I have no advice)

You are over thinking it and it appears that you need to work on your spare game.
