SssssssssssHhhhhhaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnkkkkkkkkssssss.......


Whats the story and how in the name of god do they happen ?.....

I scratched 1,2,and 3 today all because of the blasted things.....And only with my irons for some reason....

Bombed my 3 drives straight down the middle went into the clag on 1 and 2....

3rd par 5 was a little wild off the tee.....Tall trees in fron of me so i said id take my medicine hit a 9 iron bake onto the fairway but oooooohhhhhhh nooooooo....It didnt listen....

Where did it go only rocketing at a nearly right angle to me into the carp at the opposite side of the fairway.....

Anyway i gathered myself and came in with a respectible enough 34 points after a wobbly start.

They appear from nowhere in seconds, but then hang around for years, then even when you think they have gone they raise their head again as a reminder they are there - does this make you feel any better?

Well done for sticking in there,they are definately the most destructive shot in the game.

PJ im one of these people that have to find out whats wrong and why....
I still havent figured it out i was playing with my dad and the only thing that he noticed was the my stance was a little more wider than usual so i stood a bit taller and a little narrower and this seemed to do the trick...

But im not sure was that just a band aid for the round or was it the proper fix.

A bit like tennis elbow, or being an alcoholic, once you are a sh@nker, that is it for life. You can go years, but it still lurks. Welcome to the club.

The most frustrating, but by far the funniest to watch and perform.

Good explanation as to what a shank is and why it occurs.

Seems like your dads advice seemed to do the trick.
