Let's talk about a scary topic - the yips! Putting is one of the five pillars of playing "wicked smart golf" and key to shooting lower scores. However, sometimes issues arise and that's what happened a few weeks ago.

Luckily, with the help of a few coaches/guests on the show + hard work, I think (or hope) I'm trending in the right direction. I wanted to share this struggle for two reasons:

1. Everyone had bad days, rounds, or slumps... no matter how good you get.
2. You need to address the issue face-on to solve it quickly and not settle. The mind is powerful if you learn how to use it correctly.

Listen to learn several strategies I've used to overcome the putting yips.

Colin McCarthy is a PGA Teaching professional and creator of Golf Body Type. As mentioned on his website, "Golf Body Type is a specific screening process I’ve developed over the 21 years (14,000+ hours) as a golf coach, an ISSA certified personal trainer, and physics buff. Every single body on this planet is different, do you fully understand YOURS and how it should move safely with all clubs?"

In this episode, you will learn:

• The biggest swing mistakes most amateurs make.
• The role of flexibility and mobility to avoid injuries + add power.
• Why your glove size, grips and body will impact your type of swing.
• Why you should learn to swing your swing and not copy other swings.
• What is Golf Body Type and how it can help you develop a wildly consistent swing.
• How Colin recovered from a scary snowboard incident and had to retrain his golf swing.

And so much more.
