Golf Putting Yips - What Are The Causes?


Why do some players suffer from the dreaded golf putting yips, whilst others happily make it through their golfing career without being cursed at all?

It doesn't matter how good you are or how experienced you may be, everyone who plays seems to be at risk! So if you are looking to cure your golf putting yips for good, or at least feel that you are able to have some form of control over them so you don't end up quitting the game all together, then it's a good idea to understand what causes them in the first place.

If you move the technical issues of golf putting aside for a second, you will find that one of the main differences between those of us who suffer from putting yips and those who don't, is confidence. I'm sure you have experienced the sensation of standing over a putt even before you have hit it and knowing that it's going in the hole!

Some people may put this down to psycho kinesis (the ability of the mind to move an object without physical means). But of course, what is really happening is that you are confident and in a positive state of mind, which in turn will allow you to make your best possible golf putting stroke and therefore give the golf ball the best chance of finding the bottom of the hole. The dreaded golf putting yips are caused by the fear of missing or failing to make the putt, you will find that your state of mind is negative and your brain is telling you that there is no possible chance of holing that 4 foot putt.

This fear creates a spasmatic reflex action in the hands and will tend to affect the shorter putts more often than not, as these are the putts that one would normally be expected to make and the ones that cause the most embarrassment when missed! Every experience that you have in life is stored somewhere in your brain! Most of these memories will have been forgotten, as they made no particular impression.

However, a traumatic missed putt or a series of missed putts that may have cost you in competition or caused you embarrassment in some sort of way, are stored away in your active recall memory, which comes back to haunt you, when you are faced with a similar situation. Golf putting yips loves this and thrives on these opportunities!! If you are looking for an excellent solution to help you cure your golf putting yips for good, or at least learn how to keep them under some form of control, then i would highly recommend Hank Haney's book 'Fix The Yips Forever'
