Don’t let a disastrous hole wreck you. Do this to bounce back
Golfers don’t intend to hit shanks. They are the ultimate mishit. But they happen to the best of us. They occur when the clubhead strikes the ball on the hosel and can send the ball careening wildly off course. Shanks can be demoralizing, but they can be fixed. One of the most common causes of a shank is poor weight distribution. Make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet and that you are staying balanced throughout the swing. Another common cause of a shank is an outside-in swing path. This can be corrected by focusing on swinging the club inside-out. With a little practice, you can eliminate shanks from your game.
