Rep Power: 0    | What Is A Shank ? Q: What Is A Shank In Golf (its not a weapon  )A:A shank is a severe miss hit in which the golf ball is struck by the hosel of the club. On a shank, a player has managed to strike the ball with a part of the club other than the clubface. A shanked shot will scoot a short distance, often out to the right, or might be severely sliced or hook. Someone who shanks a lot might be said to "have the shanks" or to be "shanking it." |

Rep Power: 0 | Q: Worse place to "shank" a ball? A: When chipping onto a green and "shanking" the ball through the green into a water hazard on the other side. Ask me how I know.  |

Rep Power: 0 | Heheh, that would be the worse. I hope that throwing your bag in the water afterwards did not follow the shank. |

Rep Power: 0 | What's funnier than a shank? When your playing partner tees off and the ball goes between his legs and hits the golf cart! Priceless. |

Rep Power: 0 | the best is when you shank a sandwedge into the green and then make your next chip over a bunker and into the hole for par to win your match. |
