Yip Cures

6:32 pm June 2, 2009

The yips may be easier to fix than you think. Take a look at these 3
common culprits. Are they affecting your putting?

A. Over-analysis

Over-analysis is getting so caught up in the mechanics of your
stroke, that your natural movement is impeded. When you overanaylze
a shot, you can become so self-conscious of your body
position that it may hurt your score. It becomes difficult to move the
putter back in a simple, straight, targeted line. Furthermore, you may
find yourself concentrating on the putterhead itself as it goes back &
through the ball. None of these will be beneficial to a score. Avoid
over-analysis & let the shot flow naturally.

B. Steering

Instead of swinging the putterhead through the ball toward the hole,
you may find yourself trying to steer the ball INTO the hole. This
“steering” is typically a tension filled attempt to guide the ball into
the hole caused by a lack of putting confidence.

This tension can cause you to over push the putterhead toward the
hole & it will mistakenly get your wrists or legs overly involved. As
stated above, just take it naturally as it comes….

C. Insecurity

Getting nervous & insecure over a putt, especially a short one, is a
sure way to mess up. Without confidence, negative thoughts will
enter your head & they can really affect your play.

“What will I do to make the putt? Will it go in? Can I lose the hole
or the match I miss? Will I feel embarrassed in front of the other
players if I miss?”

Block these out. Learn to laugh them off.
