Dr. Noel Rousseau and Trevor Jones have combined forces to form a partnership whose sole focus is to help you beat the Yips.

Both Trevor and Noel are PGA Golf Professionals and they bring their coaching/teaching insight and their extensive research into the Yips to the #OntheMark show.

Suffering from the Yips is an awful malady and shockingly about 50% of the world's golfing population suffer from, or have suffered from the Yips. Hence the urgency in Trevor and Noel's work and they share tips, tricks and thoughts to help you back to golf freedom. They discuss:

• The Yips - What, How and Why?
• The fact that having the Yips is no longer a death penalty for golfers
• Solving the problem with more than just technical solutions
• Neuroscientific influences in the Yips
• The differences between the Yips in Putting and Chipping
• Contrasting and dealing with Type 1 and Type 2 Yips
• FOPO - Fear of Other People's Opinions
• Exposure Therapy for success, and
• Diffusion exercises and skills to compose the mind.

Trevor also highlights the two ways a golfer will deal with the yips - the B.A.D. Way (Blind Spots, Avoidance and Distraction) and the A.C.E. Way (Acknowledge, Compose and Engage).
