In this week’s golf psychology session, mental game of golf expert and author of The Mental Game of Golf, Dr. Cohn, responds to a golfer who has found a solution to his putting yips.
“Have you had the putting or chipping yips and found a long term solution that has worked for you? I’d love to get feedback from you. I recently heard from a reader that downloaded my ‘Anti-Yips Putting Drills Report‘ on puttingyips.com. Franz said, ‘You give me hope. What seems to help at the moment is to concentrate on just a spot in front of the ball and do the back swing with the putter as freely as possible. I watch the spot till after the putter head passes the spot. I am at this stage where I’m not over concerned with the result of the putt. I will overcome this invisible enemy of enjoyable golf.'”
