CURING THE YIPS STARTS HERE…

In the past 10 years of coaching the mental game of golf, I’ve had success curing the yips in hundreds of golfers. What is the secret to this success?

Curing the yips is a process. It’s not about quick fixes and tips that last a round or two, I mean a cure for good.

First, we need to pin point exactly what “type” of yips you have. By this I mean, do you have:

  • neurological yips?
  • yips caused by performance anxiety?
  • a combination of both?
  • Is the yips more in one hand than the other?
  • Do you have them when you practice?

Then we need to experiment with specific techniques that will engage your mind during your shots, so that you are able to keep your mind occupied, so your body can simply play the shot or hit the putt.

This engagement will become your “routine” for each shot, which is what you are going to focus on to make sure you are distracted by the “process” and not the “outcome”.

Once we’ve established your routine, this is how you will measure the success of each shot (with my mental game scorecard).

What’s in the Yips Cure Training Program?

In these 7 Modules, you’ll find the most effective techniques to build your shot routine and overcome the performance anxiety that comes with the yips.
