TIP: QUICK HELP FOR THE SHANKS

Most golfers think a shank comes from the clubface being open, so they try to flip the face closed at impact. This only leads to more shanks, because the actual cause is hitting with a closed face and an out-to-in swing path. Try this drill: Place a headcover just outside the ball, and practice hitting wedges. To miss the headcover, you have to swing from the inside with the face more open. If you're hitting shanks on the course, imagine the headcover in place and miss it from the inside.
