How Do You Approach The Putting Yips?
Do you have a lot of nervousness and anxiety once you get to the green?
Dr. Patrick Cohn, golf psychology expert and author of the Golfer’s Mental Edge CD program, teaches amateur to tour professional golfers how to improve their mental game of golf using golf psychology strategies developed over the last 20 years of his career.
In this week’s golf psychology session, mental game of golf expert and author of The Mental Game of Golf, Dr. Cohn, answers a question from a golfer who struggles with anxiety on the green.
Here is the questions Jacob asks this week:
“I want to find a way to control my nerves… Once I get to the green I start shaking from nerves and anxiety and obviously miss every single putt no matter the length. I’d like to know if you have some type of remedy for this?”
COHN: “Jacob, what you are describing sounds to me like the putting yips…”
Listen to the audio below to hear what Dr. Cohn tells Jacob he can do to approach his putting yips:
Golfer’s Mental Edge
What’s the big sign that your mental game is the weak link in your golf game? When you can’t play consistently as well as when you play a practice or casual round–or your range game is way better than your game on the course. If you suffer from lack of focus, low self-confidence, poor composure or other mental game obstacles on the course, you can’t reach your true potential in golf.
The Golfer’s Mental Edge 2.0 Audio and Workbook program is ideal for any amateur, collegiate, junior, and tour professional golfer.
Golf coaches and instructors would also be wise to teach “The Golfer’s Mental Edge 2.0” principles to their players. This program is perfect for any golfer who wants to improve performance and consistency by managing their mind better on the course.
