How many times have you stepped up to that six foot putt, with no break in sight, and pushed it left of the cup because the golf putting yips took over? This has happened time and time again to countless golfers. Even professional golfers can be afflicted by the golf putting yips, and many careers have been jeopardized because of them.
So what can you do to control or stop the yips for good? Here are two techniques that are commonly used by many to retake control of their short game:
1) Putt With Your Eyes Closed - After you line up your putt, close your eyes and resist from watching the ball or the path. The theory behind this is that people generally relax more when they have their eyes closed, thus slowing down brain waves and involuntary movements so you have more control over the swing of the club.
2) Speed Up Your Putting Stroke - The most common time for the YIPS to manifest is when you are lined up over your putt, and you pause or hesitate before taking the stroke. This is the precise moment when your brain and body can go off in a completely different direction. By lining up the putt and immediately taking the stroke, you do not allow yourself time to start the thinking process that will manifest into full blown yips.
Getting control of the yips is critical to lowering your score, and enjoying your rounds of golf. Give these two simple techniques a try on the practice green, or even in your own home and see how they work out for you.
