'xperiencing yips
(yips, definition: An nervous affliction in which the person putting cannot make short putts due to the inability to create a smooth putting stroke.
Usually, "the yips" take the form of jerking the putt to one side or pushing the putt to the other. It's usually felt by the golfer as a nerve-tingling experience in which he or she feels unable to be steady over the ball.
The yips is not a medical condition, of course, merely a nervous reaction to short putts that is more of a mental than physical thing.)
