Shanks by OZgolfers

Played a round earlier today with a well known member who hit a couple of hosel rockets from the sand....

None were overly remarkable, but well worth a mention in a thread of this quality.... You agree Timmy

I think I shanked about 4 chips today... no idea what the go was!

Any hosel rockets to report?

A playing partner had one yesterday. About 45* angle. But nothing spectacular.

I hit one today a nice lateral, straight into the hazard

This is the one I remember hearing of....folk law now is it not?I remember watching a guy practicing his short chipping out at Melville after we'd played a social 9....we weren't sure if this guy was actually practicing his shanks or he was really that shit.

He hit seven in a row and we could not stop laughing(quietly)
We did think that this guy should quit golf!

i hit on one on saturday, on the 12th at gailes, teed of 10 went bridie bridie got to the 12 tee pulled 9 iron, just about to hit it changed to easy 8 and ye old hosel fade over near the green keepers shed.. lol only painfull thing about it was the shout @ half way

Golfer69 is a classic for talking it up. At the inaugral Leon memorial day on the very first hole he was yapping away that he will probably hit a skank, and sure enough got one away on his first iron of the day.

Funny how this posivite talking doesnt work for him at the TAB.

Just popping in here trying to locate Rubin's ball on the tenth today.

It was a ripper. Not 100% convinced it was a shank, cause it didnt feel like it, but the divot said otherwise

[Johnny Canuck]

The trees 75* right of where you were aiming said otherwise .

I was petrified on 13 when I was 20m away from you on the diagonal.

Several years back, I saw a pro shank one off the tee on the par 3 15th at huntingdale masters. Absolute hacker of a shot. Thankfully there was no access down the right side past the tee or else he would have cleaned up a few spectators.

On that note, I played in a pro am at The Vines with a 7am shotgun off 16. He hit an awesome hosel rocket straight into the soup for his first.

[Golfnut]

Nameless pro?

[Outcast]

Yesterday, +1 at the turn having started on 10; Sliced drive on 1st barely clearing water hazard (which really shouldn't be in play). Fortunate to locate ball nestled down in shortish rough with a clear path to the green. Lined up, swung & bam.... Hozel rocket across second fairway into the trees. Shaking on my next shot, put it near the green & made double!! Finished +7 for the day

[MegaWatty]

Nameless pro?

Can't remember.

[sms316]

Can't remember.

Are you Swiss?

[MegaWatty]

Are you Swiss?

Alan Bond.

Seriously, how many big name pros actually play in these events? I'm sure I've posted his name in another thread here before I played.

Pair of beauties today. One on the sudden death hole and still manage to take it out!

I hit one on the 12th at Wynnum today. It was a clean shank 3 Iron, that went at about a 45° angle, and about 160m..... It made for some interesting play when combined with my tendency to spray anything today.

The one you hit on 15 had a bit of control as it slowly floated into the rough. I tend to go for a more violent stinger hosel hit two yesterday the first hit a tree and went in the water.
