Now Introducing Thought-Free Putting
It’s a wonderful day on the golf course. You hit a great shot off the tee, your second shot off the fairway is outstanding and then your iron shot is just feet from the cup. You feel confident as you approach the ball. But just as your putter makes contact, a mild spasm jerks your stroke---and you miss the cup entirely.
You've just experienced the dreaded yips.
What are the yips? The yips are involuntary motions of the hand and wrist that can make effective putting extremely difficult, if not impossible. The yips are most common during putts between five and ten feet. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic found that at least 1/3 of all serious golfers have experienced the yips. These golfers describe the feeling as a moment where their body has a "mind of its own." The Mayo Clinic recommends "mental training" like visualization and relaxation as a way to eliminate the yips.
Thought Free Putting is mental training to keep the yips at bay. Think of this audio CD as your mental putting green—a 30 minute guided visualization using both voice and background music. It is designed to give you the ability to control your mind and body for consistent smooth putts.
Thought Free Putting teaches you how to:
- Master the mental side of putting in 3 simple steps!
- Clear your mind of all distractions while putting—like a pro

"I see Thought Free Putting as a powerful technique for curing the yips." ---Chris Wightman, Publisher, Golf Magazine
Thought Free Puttingis intended to work in conjunction with Thought Free Golf.
While the beginning and ending of these two separate audio programs are identical, Thought Free Putting has guided imagery to focus the mind on 3 simple steps for smooth easy putts each and every time.
Four Tips To Improve Your Putting:
- PRACTICE PUTTING FIRST: Most golfers start their practice at the driving range and leave little time (if any) for the practice green. Change your pre-game routine the next time you go to the golf course and see what a difference it makes.
- CREATE A PRE-PUTT ROUTINE: Many golfers have a pre-swing routine, but not all golfers have a pre-putt routine they do consistently and automatically. Create a consistent series of physical steps to determine your line and your speed.
- BREATHE: In putting, one of the most common errors is over-tightening of the muscles. Holding your breath or shallow breathing caused by anxiety causes this tightening. The quickest way to lessen anxiety (physically and mentally) is to take three deep breaths.
- PRACTICE IN YOUR MIND: The Mayo Clinic recommends "mental training" like visualization and relaxation as a way to eliminate the yips. Thought Free Putting is mental training to keep the yips at bay. Think of this audio CD as your mental putting green.
