Player is younger than I thought. He’s only 81. I remember watching him play in the 60s, and he was already a star of the tour at that point.
Does it have anything to do with needing glasses?
“I know how you got the yips.”
My parents told me it would make me go blind. They never mentioned the yips.

Sorry, it’s been a while now since I found the video and I don’t remember what it was called.
What I do remember is starting my search to try and figure out why I was hitting my irons so damn high all the time and not getting the proper distance with them. I searched google on the term “why am i hitting my irons too high” The answer came back that I was ‘flipping my wrist’ I found a video on youtube about it and sure enough, it showed me what I was doing wrong and showed how to fix the problem. I am now hitting my irons much much better. As far as chipping goes it was by far the worst part of my game and I had no confidence at all in it so that was the mental part. What a video on chipping showed me is alot like the fix for the wrist flipping, as I wasn’t swinging around my body and wasn’t turning my club face through my shots leaving it too square and causing the wrist to flip the ball high in the air. Doing that on little wedge chip shots is disaster and makes a completely unpredictable result.
I really have to say a few little videos on youtube and a little practice along with a new confidence has made me a very good player with all of my irons and it didn’t hurt my driving either.
Hope that helps a little. GLHF
Thanks, Bullish. I’ve used YouTube for other “learning,” but for some reason, never for golf. I’ll give it a try!
Not a comfortable place to be.
