I was once told by a very talented golfer that the secret to not three putting, is to get the ball in the hole in two puts instead. Still haven't figured out what he was talking about.
Putt with your wedges or your 3w. Just focus on getting the ball in the hole. Hold it however makes sense. Make it instinctual, subconscious again. Works for me when I'm in a slump! The whole goal is to realize how much of putting is a feel thing. And when I'm yippy I'm heady.
Take all your change and put it in your left hand pocket. Now tie your left shoe in a double knot. Turn your hat around backwards. Now take this tee and stick it behind your left ear…….Now you do this right now or I swear to god I’ll quit. Now take this little ball and hit it the hell into the hole. You’re ready.
Set up and then slightly deloft forward press just a little as a trigger to help not be spastic on your take away. Something about staying in motion and not allowing tension/stress to build to much helps.
Take the change out of your left pocket, and put it in your right pocket. Turn your hat backward. Take off one shoe. Then hit.
Only correct answer if your stroke feels like an unfolding lawn chair.
Come on guys, this is easy. Buy a putter. That’s your problem
Correct. It helps for a month.
Ok I came. Now what?
Change your grip, get annoyed and change back, problem solved.
Easy! It’s a simple game, really.

I try to hole out from off the green, rather than putt.
You’re better then that, don’t tell yourself you have em
Thanks for the pep talk. I suck with the putter.

Good ideas. And I think that you are spot on, my confidence is shaken.
1 or 2 things or a combo.
Probably right. I putt better when I don’t give a shit.
Don’t suck. /s
Yes!!
maybe(if you don’t already do this) on longer putts try to get the ball close to the hole, rather then trying to one putt

Sidewinder or Dinosaur Mountain?
We played Sidewinder. It’s so good.

Hank Haney has some podcasts concerning the yips.
I went to a more forgiving putter. In my case, from an old blade to a new heavy one.
