Golf Course and Free Golf Tips

Because the major contributors to the yips are tension, anxiety, and ack of confidence, one way to help rid yourself of the yips is to empty your mind.

Play in the subconscious - forget about the stroke, forget about the results, and forget about the circumstances. Just play, in the literal sense of the word.

If you step inside your local pub to play darts or shoot some pool, you probably do not get all bogged down in your technique when you toss the darts or set up for your corner shot.

You may want to win the pool game, but you probably do not hang the balance of the world on your shot on the 8-ball, right? You just play casually, sipping a beer, and enjoying yourself, even when you miss.

Try to put yourself into the same mindset when you putt. Just play and let it happen. Let your athletic instincts take over. Trust the practice and effort you have put toward your game thus far.

Just step up to your position and make the shot, putting in the subconscious.
