putting (yips)

[joeparr]

Now that makes sense.....

But..what are the yips??

 

[puttmad]

Lack of control of motor functions at the desired time.....
Inability to make the putter move on command...
Fear of failure, causing shame and embarassment....
On short putts, anticipating missing a putt you "know (or think you know)" you should make...
Shakey knees.....
Loss of brain function....

Oh...sounds horrible.

I've never had that experience. I have choked over a putt now and then though.

My mantra, make a good stroke. That's all I can do. If the hole gets in the way, so much the better!
