Having said that Alex, you're not the first one who's suggested to me that the yips are the preserve of professional golfers. Sadly it's not the case. Mine have come from nowhere, and even occur if I'm making a putt of sinkable length on a practice green.
My point is that it's not pressure that causes it. Even if I don't care if I miss the putt it still happens. Have totally changed my putting grip which has solved the problem, but I'd love to know what causes it.
In case anyone was wondering, it manifests itself in the form of an involuntary jerk (very slight) in my right wrist, when moving the putter forwards to strike the ball.
