Medal Saturday 9th May.
Playing with two guys I did not meet before, Mathew and Mark. Good lads, went through the speal again, yes off 28 should be better, looking to get cut etc etc.
Bit more nerves on the first than usual.
True to form I completely knob a 9 iron 30 yards. Head down and off to hit the second. Three quarter wedge shot, swing, monster shank over the hill and down the other side. I'm now playing three from further away from the green than I started :(
In complete shock, I dolly chip the ball up the hill in three to eventually hole out for an Eight! on a par 3!
I could never really recover from that. I went 8, 7, 7,7 for the first 4, after that it was no longer an issue so a just played and came home with a 101 total. Including one more shank into a hazard on the 7th.
Mathew played a blinder and with 63 net came second in the 2nd division and got a nice cut from 21 into the teens. Both guys were real gents and invited me to play with them again next week.
These shanks are the most sole destroying thing I have come across yet in golf. But I don't have time to get it sorted.
On Wednesday I'm playing again in a medal with Stephen after work, Pete the pro can't give me a lesson this week as he is booked and I have another comp on Sunday.
I searched on Golf Magic and read every shank thread in history also watched some vids and hope I know what's causing it. Off to practice on Tuesday in the hope of sorting it.
