The Yips
A common problem in putting is known as the Yips. The yips is a movement disorder known to interfere with putting.
In describing the yips, golfers have used terms such as twitches, staggers, jitters and jerks. The Yips can affect all golfers but predominantly appears in golfers who have been playing for more than 25 years. Although there is no direct cause for the yips, it is believed that the condition is the inability of the mind and the small muscles to marry up. That means the mental desire is there but the signals from the brain to the small muscles, trigger a muscle movement for various reasons.
