This is an excerpt of Golf Smarter podcast episode 550 published on July 26, 2016 featuring Jim Waldron of Balance Point Golf Schools.
550: There are at least five different type of the Yips in golf. Full Swing, Chipping, Pitching, Bunker, and the least common but most talked about: Putting. Our guest, Jim Waldron is one of our all-time favorite golf instructors who actually specializes in eliminating the yips. According to Jim, there are three contributing factors to the yips. Mental. Emotional. Physical (mechanics). “By definition, the yips (flinching) are unconscious. No one tries to get the yips.”
In the longer Premium episode, Jim goes into much more depth on the contributing factors, examples, and devising a program that will eliminate them and “Flinch-Proof Your Game”, and curing a scratch golfer who’s yips got so bad, he handicap went up to a 12. Jim cured him in 4 hours.
