There have been times when I've been the Shank King. Two come to mind..
1. ProAm. Shank chip to right. Again. Again. (Pro said I was 'working my way around the green'. I think I laughed.)
2. Par 3 in Tournament. Severe downhill, 7I for me. Shank OB. Shank OB. Shank OB. Fat. Think I had a smooth 10.
If #2 sounds bad, here's bad. I shanked it again the next time we played the course. The next time we played, I hooked the sh*t out of the ball into the high stuff on the hill,, don't remember what I did after that.
Note: All of those were pre-Manzella/pre-Shields,, used to take club waaaay insde and flat.
