New technique to cure the yips
My purpose in posting this information is to make my fellow golfers aware of a significant discovery I made regarding the putting yips - and if I can help other golfers cure their yips so much the better.
I'm an avid golfer and am passionate about the game - but for years I suffered from the putting yips. The "yips" for those of you who may not know are a putting disorder that make putting a golf ball almost impossible due to the uncontrollable shakes and jerks of the hands they cause in golfers. In fact, the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ has just completed a series of studies on the yips.
However, back in 2006, I discovered a putting technique that cured my yips. I am not claiming that my technique will help all golfers who have the yips - given the different levels of severity with the yips and how they affect golfers differently. But I am confident my technique will be able to help many golfers who suffer from this "maddening" condition and to me that was worth sharing.
So I wrote a book about my technique, and it was published by AuthorHouse just last fall. The book is targeted to golfers who have the yips and avid golfers and beginners who want to improve their game. The title of the book is: "Master golf...and you master life itself." (or How I cured my yips...yeah, you heard me.) It's more of a golfer's handbook - a paperback that can fit in your bag for easy reference and it's written in a light-hearted tone and provides helpful tips for golfers to improve their game. The book was featured as a "great read" from AuthorHouse in the New York Times last November - and it's available online at AuthorHouse.com as well as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
My book was also requested by the office of Dr. Charles Adler from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ (that I mentioned earlier.) They requested a copy of my book to review after completing their studies on the yips.
As someone who knows first-hand the frustration of having the yips - I want to make as many golfers as I can aware of my putting technique so that those who have the yips can give my technique a try. I have been putting "yip-free" since 2006 and currently play to a 9-handicap. And if I can help other golfers cure their yips that would be great! Not only that - but I think golfers in general will enjoy some of my golf "insights" from the book - such as: "The secret to saving your round after a bad hole, if you think about it...is not to think about it." - or - "In golf, distance is more important on the green than it is off the tee."
If you are a golfer with the yips or know someone who suffers from this mysterious putting curse - you can get more information from my website at: www.mastergolfenterprises.com. I hope my putting technique works as well for you as it has for me. And for you avid golfers and beginners - I'm confident my chapter on putting will help make you better putters - promise!
Take care and play well.
