You've made thousands of putts and chips successfully.
But now, standing over certain shots, you might experience tension, hesitation, fear, or a sudden involuntary movement.
You start worrying about what might happen.
You become more conscious of your technique.
You try harder to control the movement.
And something that once felt automatic becomes increasingly difficult.
The harder you try to control it, the more you may interfere with your natural movement.
For many golfers, fear, tension, and excessive conscious control play a significant role in their experience of the yips.
That's where mental training can help.
When golfers develop the yips, their first instinct is usually to change something technical.
A different grip. A new putter. Another swing thought. More practice.
And while technical adjustments can sometimes help, they don't always address what's happening beneath the surface.
For many golfers, the yips become part of a cycle:
Fear of a poor shot → Increased tension → Excessive conscious control → Disrupted movement → More fear.
The more you worry about making a mistake, the more you try to control a movement that previously happened automatically.
My approach isn't simply about changing how you move. It's about learning how to interfere with your natural movement less.
I'm David MacKenzie, founder of Golf State of Mind. For more than 15 years, I've helped golfers at every level, from recreational players to tour professionals, develop the mental skills to perform more freely under pressure.
I created the How to Cure the Yips Training Program to give golfers a structured approach to understanding their triggers, reducing fear and unnecessary tension, and rebuilding trust through mental training and progressive practice.
The goal is to help you move away from fear and excessive control, and towards greater confidence, commitment, and freedom.
1. Understand Your Yips
Explore the physical and psychological factors that may contribute to the yips and identify your personal triggers.
2. Manage Fear and Tension
Learn practical breathing, attention, and performance-state techniques to help you respond differently when you feel anxious.
3. Build a Reliable Shot Routine
Develop a consistent process that directs your attention towards the shot you want to play rather than the mistake you're trying to avoid.
4. Change Unhelpful Beliefs
Identify the thoughts and expectations that may reinforce your fear, and develop a more constructive relationship with your game.
5. Trust Your Performance Process
Learn how to focus on what you can control, make committed decisions, and reduce excessive conscious interference.
6. Explore Practical Technical Adjustments
Understand how changes to grip, setup, tempo, and movement patterns may help certain golfers.
7. Practise to Rebuild Confidence
Follow progressive exercises designed to help you develop trust in practice and gradually transfer it to the golf course.
Imagine approaching a short putt without immediately thinking about what could go wrong.
Or standing over a chip with a clear intention instead of a collection of swing thoughts.
Progress doesn't necessarily mean eliminating every uncomfortable feeling. It means learning how to respond differently so that fear doesn't have to dictate your next movement.
The program gives you a structured way to begin that work.
In David MacKenzie, you have a coach who really understands and applies that simple but profound truth.”
"David MacKenzie is truly an expert in coaching the performance skills of the mental side of golf. For what is complicated for most to communicate, David does in a simple, clear, and effective way. His ideas help golfers shoot lower scores and enjoy the game more."
“Working with David has really helped me develop a strong mental process meaning my focus is in the right place before and during shots, which makes a big difference when playing tournament golf”.
Will this help if I've had the yips for years?
The program is designed to help golfers understand their triggers and develop a more effective response, regardless of how long they've been struggling. Individual results vary, and some cases of the yips have neurological components that may require professional assessment.
Is this just a mental-training program?
Mental training is a major focus, but the program also explores practical technical adjustments and progressive physical practice exercises.
Do I need to change my putting or chipping technique?
Not necessarily. You'll learn why excessive technical control can sometimes contribute to the problem, alongside adjustments that may help in particular situations.
