Definition

This is less of a swing fault and more of a mental game problem and describes a golfer who makes involuntary movements during the swing. While this is most common with short putts, it can also occur in chipping or even the full swing and is tough to get rid of!

Usage

I have a bad case of the yips right now. It's awful!
