Joel Dahmen has the yips (no, not that sort)

The yips are detrimental to any golfer, and nearly each golfer has suffered from them in some unspecified time in the future.

On this week’s GOLF Subpar episode, Joel Dahmen defined a few of his clashes with the yips, which included the punch-out yips and the 7-iron yips. (“Sahith Theegala additionally has that as effectively, proper?” Dahmen requested. Sure, he does.)

However Dahmen’s yips transcend the golf course. Like, for example, he’s at the moment battling the autograph yips.

“Oh, dangerous; it’s not nice,” he stated. “I’ve by no means pretended to have a fantastic signature. My handwriting is putrid. Such as you suppose should you can hit a golf ball you’ll be able to in all probability signal your identify, however I battle with that entire deal. However yeah, the cursive ‘J’ appears OK, however I freeze on the ‘E’ proper now. The pen simply stops for a full second after which it would go and get a bit sloppy. … Let’s say you signal for 15 or 20 children after the spherical. Proper now I’m taking twice so long as different guys to get by means of this line and it’s not fairly both.”

However his yips don’t finish there. He additionally has the parking yips.

Dahmen defined that his trusty caddie, Geno Bonnalie, often drives when they’re at tournaments, and Dahmen’s spouse often drives if they’re working locations collectively. However when he’s solo and confronted with a giant parking zone with plenty of choices, it takes a while for him to discover a spot for his 2017 Ford Explorer.

“I let the automobile select the place it desires to park,” Dahmen stated. “Typically you simply need to let the automobile go and typically it takes a bit bit longer to search out the spot it suits in. I’ve had the parking yips for some time. I’m a strong driver. My spouse calls me a grandpa driver. I’m not ripping 80 across the 101 or going 55 on Scottsdale Street, however I get into these parking tons and I simply can’t pull the set off on a spot.

“And it’s not like I can’t match the automobile in there, I’m a assured driver,” he continued. “However typically there’s a automobile seat, you bought to have room for these, and also you attempt to get the youngsters within the backseat and then you definately gotta discover the passenger seat with wider room than the opposite facet, and it simply takes a bit longer.”
