I’m thrilled to introduce a new, exciting series on this blog and the PWR social accounts dedicated to helping you conquer the mental game of golf. Meet Yip, a regular golfer like most of us.

Still, his advice goes beyond overcoming the yips to tackle all sorts of mental challenges that all levels of golfers and athletes face.

What Are the Yips?
