NMAP is the core methodology behind the Yip Stick™ training system — a structured approach to restoring stability, alignment, and confidence in the putting stroke. To serve both adaptive golfers and performance‑focused players, NMAP is presented through two complementary professional pathways, each represented by its own emblem and instructional focus.
NMAP — One System, Two Professional Pathways
The Neuromotor Adaptive Putting Protocol is designed for instructors serving:
-
Veterans
-
Adaptive athletes
-
Golfers with neurological or physical challenges
-
Individuals navigating tremors, TBI, PTSD, balance limitations, or reduced fine motor control
This pathway aligns with nationally recognized adaptive standards from PGA HOPE, the Adaptive Golf Association, and the USGA Adaptive Golf Program. Instruction is:
-
safe
-
dignified
-
trauma‑informed
-
individualized
-
grounded in respect
Adaptive NMAP helps golfers quiet involuntary motion, rebuild neuromotor stability, and rediscover confidence on the green.
Neurological Motor Alignment Protocol (Performance Pathway)
The Neurological Motor Alignment Protocol is designed for:
-
PGA teaching professionals
-
Competitive players
-
Recreational golfers
-
Coaches addressing yips, parallax error, and visual misalignment
This pathway focuses on:
-
visual alignment
-
parallax correction
-
motor‑control precision
-
repeatable stroke mechanics
-
confidence restoration
Performance NMAP provides a structured, science‑based approach to stabilizing the putting stroke and improving competitive consistency.
