My friend has developed the yips (it really is a friend, not me). He says that he makes several good practice strokes, but his hands start shaking when he addresses the ball. Any advice I can pass along to him?

rule one: never have a red bull/monster/rockstar etc before 18...

rule two: tell him it's ok, the divorce papers were a joke rule three: if you neglect rule 2 tell him the ball is the nuts of his wife's lawyer

Pick up any of Bob Rotella's books. I only have "Your 15th club" and it has a section about the yips.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I was thinking of letting him borrow mine. He has always been a good putter so it has to be in his noodle somewhere.

LOL @ siggy.
