So, you can get rid of the yips, but I had to completely change what I was doing and that changed my mental approach too. The yips are completely mental.
Yes, I've been playing golf since I was 8 yrs old. So that's about 52 yrs now. I can't ever get enough of it.
Care to share a link or a search term for the specific video?
Golf is an addiction. True story.
My father a great golfer put a club in my hand at 6 or 7, and they all said I had a natural swing - I grew up playing, but hated the game because it kept my father from me. When he wasn’t working, he was on the links. But my business required that I take clients to play - top Fortune 500 execs.
I saw how addictive the game was to many.
One day I went to a nearby public driving range before a major client outing at my country club almost next door to my home. Coming off it was an old friend, former drug addict/dealer, former president of really bad biker gang who had been as rough as they get, but became a Christian in the ‘70’s.....carrying a new set of Pings, Ping bag, the whole 9 yards. “Wayne! When did you start playing golf?!?!” “4 years ago. I play almost every day.” I probed more knowing he had a backhoe business.
He then told me how addicted he was, had a 4 handicap, took lessons every week, his playing was killing his income, etc. I said, “Wayne - you ARE addicted!”
He said, “Yes - I used to be addicted to cocaine and heroin. Now I’m addicted to golf. And I can tell you golf is WORSE!”
TRUE story....Wayne is now with the Lord........(not saying.....)
