After 20 years of zero golf after being a 12 marker the shank is one of my regular shots but it’s almost like I’m starting all over again after such a long lay off.
I need help as I'm hooking my tee shots 😢😢😢😢I live in Milan Italy
I really don't think I've ever had a shank.. honestly….i may have had 1 when i started playing but i just didn't know what it was but never since and i mean chipping pitching or full swing.
Of course after saying this i know full well i am doomed 🤐
I am working on everything currently I've been golfing 3 times and not that great but it's something I really enjoy I am from Elkhart,IN
Need help with a hook with the driver please 😢😢
Great video and instructions as always Todd 👍👍
Great video guys. Thanks for all the great tips.

Love this tip. So simple and just common sense. Have had bouts of shanks with short pitches that have cost me many strokes. I've been using a straight-back approach which works "most" of the time but this tip will address the real problem. Thanks for your many valuable tips. Wayne Kivi, Cape Cod (82 y/o)
