I love golf because there is always room for improvement in my game to say the least. Actually, I view it as an adventure when things go wrong and you have to find your way back. For example, I recently went off the rails and started shanking short chips to the green. I just could not seem to stop it as I was mentally challenged to find a solution. Looking over several online lessons, I discovered that I was standing way too close to the ball and was hitting the ball off the hosel rather than the face of the club. After some practice, moving my hands further away from my body, gone was the shank! I want to share this Golf Academy video about the shank, because it approached it a little differently. The most feared shot in golf…as the video mentions. So, if you get the shanks like I do, here’s some relief of mind that it can be fixed. Happy golfing from this average golfer!
