Short Game

This free golf tip will help your short game, known as putting. Putting yips are when the clubface opens and closes inconsistently. If you are prone to the yips the problem could be poor alignment. Typically it means you’re aiming too far left. When your alignment aims left, you need to open the face on the backstroke to get the ball into the hole. Often this compensation leads to the yips. An exercise that will help is to place a club on the ground outside your putter. Place another club at your feet, parallel to the target line. Use the clubs as a guide for where to aim and as a reference for the path of the stroke.
