I have started hitting my driver on the heal of the club face and shanking my irons...what's up?

You're swinging too much inside out. That's the most common cause of shanks. You might be too far from the ball (causing you to move towards it at impact) OR too close.

I have the same problem. After doing some practice swings in the garage it seems that I'm standing too close to the ball. I'm going to try and work on standing further away next time at the range. Hard habit to break though.

      Bald Eagle Moves Ball at Rest

      By p1n9183 ·

      This happens all the time at my home course. We have a certain type of bird that eat the eggs and newborns of another type of bird. Sometimes they confuse golf balls with this eggs so they pick them up and fly away. Off course we are allowed to put another ball in play without penalty were we think the stolen ball was originally resting.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By p1n9183 ·

      1- I'm not. If I have to be honest I've been around +1 and 3 handicap for the last decade. Currently at 0,7. But I changed a lot my swing in the last year witch make me enjoy more my ball striking and I have less pain in my back.  2- I'm working on a more consistent, pain free, neutral swing in hopes that in one year I can enjoy even more playing golf and also reduce a couple of strokes per round.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By pganapathy ·

      Currently I have to say my golf is a lot worse than it was a year ago.  That is mostly down to me not playing at all for many months.  I was scoring high 70's, low 80's consistently a year ago.  Now that I am somehow managing to play every couple of months I am scoring in the 90's, if not worse

      I doubt if any of the announcers would dare to touch that with a ten-feet pole. They might as well electrocute themselves if they were to take even a slightest tone of amusement to this very colorful detour..😋
