Discover How To Break The Yips Cycle And Putt and Chip Freely
Proven Video and Workbook Program Helps Golfers Overcome the Yips and Enjoy Golf
Dear Golfer:
I know you are frustrated with your putting, chipping, or pitching and have considered giving up the game you once loved to play. But before you make that decision, read what I have to say about how I help golfers overcome the yips….
Over the last 10 years, golfers have told me many stories about the yips and how painful or embarrassing it can be…
Here’s a sample of what golfers say about the yips…
- “When on the practice green my putting is great, but on the course I can’t make a three-foot putt!“
- “My hands shake so bad that I worry about accidentally hitting the ball. When I do try to make a stroke, I barely nudge the ball a few inches, double hit it, or whack it three-feet by the hole.”
- “I used to consider myself one of the best putters and was extremely good under high pressure. No more… It’s very frustrating!”
- “When I really need a good chip to salvage a hole, I tense up, my swing speed increases and I look up to see the result. My handicap has drifted from 9 to 13 in the last ten years.”
- “I feel the yips is strongly related to performance anxiety when I especially want to play well with people I like or want to show I can play well.”
- “At top of my back swing and something weird happens. It’s like time freezes for a second and I don’t know what to do. I swing too hard and hit shots I never dreamed could be so bad.”
- “I have been getting progressively worse, no matter what I try. Last Sunday, I carded an 88 with 41 putts and missed everything inside of 5 feet unless it was a tap-in.”
These golfers with the yips suffer from:
- Inability to swing the club freely on the course (despite the fact they can in practice)
- Anxiety, tension, and over control of the stroke or swing
- Super low confidence with the yips-infected stroke
- Performance anxiety about what others will think
- Feeling like an alien has taken over their body and they have no control
If you can putt or chip well on the practice green, but can’t take it to the course, this is a mental game issue and not a physical challenge. Now, the yips might feel like it’s physical when you stab, jab, or flinch at impact, but if you can putt or chip freely in practice, but tense up on the course, then it’s mental and not physical!
And drinking alcohol before the round or singing while you swing is not the answer…
How to Break THE YIPS CYCLE
After working with golfers for over 10 years on the yips, I developed a model of what keeps golfers stuck in the yips… And the yips are the yips–no matter if you have the putting, chipping, or pitching yips, you have to attack the yips cycle at every stage. Here is the model:
The Yips Cycle is a vicious cycle that causes you to stay trapped…
From fear of missing to over control to feeling embarrassed, everyone I shared this with agreed with my philosophy about the yips:
- The cycle comes and goes for some of you where you can lose the yips, but it returns mysteriously;
- The cycle is all about anxiety and fear of missing and the aftermath of missing;
- The cycle includes massive frustration that spills over into a golfer’s life;
- The cycle makes it hard to regain any confidence in your putting or chipping.
This is what John had to say about one of my putting tips:
“I used your ideas about throwing golf balls at the hole, closing my eyes, and opening and closing my eyes, etc. The best tip that worked for me while I played 18 holes was NOT focusing on the club head or ball, but putting to the target/hole and line only in my mind.”*
The first place to begin to break the Yips Cycle is to admit that the yips are a mental issue. Stabbing or flinching at impact are symptoms of bigger issues: fear and over control. Changing your grip, putter, swing, club, or routine are only temporary Band-Aids to a mental game issue.
The next step is to learn how to free-up your putting, chipping, or pitching by understanding how to trust in your skills and return to an intuitive mindset when you execute a golf shot.
Another important an necessary step in breaking the yips cycle is to address the REAL source of the fear that causes you to be afraid of hitting a simple three-foot putt–as if its life or death!
So how do you really know you have the yips?
The most apparent sign: You putt or chip well on the practice tee or green, but feel tense, flinch, stab, or freeze when you compete or just play golf with others on the course.
Or you probably have the yips if:
- You dread hitting a short putt (two to three feet) and miss the hole badly.
- You blade your chip over the green from a simple lie—when this rarely happens in practice.
- You dread having to hit a 50-yard pitch because you’ve missed the green so many times.
- You freeze over the ball or can’t take the club back.
- You jab, stab, or flinch at the ball at impact.
- You fear that you will embarrass yourself for missing a two-foot putt or easy chip.
- You think others judge you as a golfer when you miss short putts or easy chips.
- You can’t stop thinking about past misses.
The yips can take all the fun out of your golf game and the hard work you put into it. If you’ve had the yips for years, all this suffering is really unnecessary.
Having helped my golf students overcome the yips, you too can discover how to free up your stroke on the course and enjoy golf again!
What Are My Credentials?
As a dedicated golf psychology expert for the last 25 years, I have researched and worked with thousands of elite athletes including top junior, collegiate, and tour pro golfers. Over this time, I have compiled an impressive list of accomplishments and credentials such as:
- Working with some of the top golfers in the world including Junior, Collegiate, and PGA Tour winners on techniques to improve confidence, focus, and composure for golf – over 20 years.
- Interviewing many top athletes in the world including Ernie Els, John Houston, Steve Lowery, and Helen Alfredsson to uncover the strategies, techniques and skills that keep these professional golfers at the pinnacle of performance.
- Authoring and producing an extensive library of golf psychology books, videos, audio programs and training seminars. I wrote The Mental Game of Golf, The Mental Art of Putting, Peak Performance Golf, Going Low, and The Golfer’s Mental Edge CD and Workbook program.
- Earning a Ph.D. in Sports Psychology from the University of Virginia under Golf Psychology expert Bob Rotella and having published more journal articles than any other students at the time.
- Owning and operating the world’s leading mental training web site with over 25,000 readers and hundreds of current members who are reaping the rewards mental game coaching brings to their performance.
My philosophy is to teach proven and applied mental game strategies–the same ones I’ve used to help other golfers overcome the yips and putt and chip freely again. You will not find any overnight fixes or solutions to the yips–only practical strategies to help you get beyond the fear and over control of the yips cycle.
No Psychobabble and no fluff! Just simple mental game strategies to help you free up your game and enjoy golf again!
Real Golfers I’ve Helped
“A Round Where My Chips Were 100% Yip Free”
“When I got on the course, it was like I couldn’t control my own body… When I would go to pull the trigger, some demon would take over. It was happening for about three years and kept getting worse and worse. I worked through it [with Dr. Cohn] where the fear is pretty much gone. I had a round recently where my chips were 100% yip-free. But I feel like I have more confidence now. I feel like I control my body now.”*

“I Have Found Almost Instantaneous Success“
“I am a single digit handicap who has battled the yips for some time. As soon as I spent the money for Dr. Cohn’s program I had buyers remorse. The good news is that drove me to use the program right away. Everything
~Alex Davis
“Drills Improved My Rhythm and Putting Success”
“Two of your drills have been especially helpful: Eyes closed the eyes open and the tap in drill. I have only been able to make short putts for some time with my eyes closed and have been very effective with that. Both drills have improved my overall rhythm and putting success. Only used your drill sequence for one practice session so will step up the routine to 7 days in a row.”*
~Trevor Morgan
“I Have Broken Out of The Yips with Short Putts”
“I wanted to tell you I have broken out of the yips short putt issues. I have won 2 of the last 3 competitions. Right now my putting confidence is sky high. I HAD the putt yips for past 6 years. I contribute the success to two of your drills. First focus hard on the hole, forget about all else. It took awhile to get the 100% focus, but I could see the results coming. Then your advice “Let go and trust your ability.” Immediate result. Wow what a relief. Having putted for so long under yip pressure, I now feel I can be put under extreme pressure to win the club championship. I now look forward to short putts.”*
~Ian Dodd
“Your Drills Made Sense to Me”
“I was pleased to find your website and tips to address the mental issues with the yips. Your drills made sense to me. Other people only tackled technique. That isn’t the problem with me as I can stroke them all nicely on the practice putting green. I can even hit the long ones on the course. I will keep working at it and thank you for your interest.”*
~Pat Collins
“You Know What The Yips Are”
“I’ve read so many teachings regarding the yips, and you’re right on. I’ve read articles from top 10 teachers who have supposed cures for the yips, and realize, they don’t even know what the yips are… You know what they are, and I believe you know how to cure them. Thank you for your newsletters.”*
~Kevin
