I did that with an iron shot on a par 3 once. Hit the back side of the hosel and bounced the ball into the ground and hit me in the thigh. Hardly felt it.

What sucks is, first you realize you just hit one of the worst shots in history. Second, you now realize you have to play the ball as it lies. Third, if you know the rules then you must assess a one stroke penalty because you broke this rule,

19-2. By Player, Partner, Caddie or Equipment

If a player's ball is accidentally deflected or stopped by himself, his partner or either of their caddies orequipment, the player incurs a penalty of one stroke. The ball must be played as it lies,

Hitting self with tee shot = stroke and distance

Hence the phrase, "Adding insult to injury".

Plus, if he wants to tee up again that's yet another penalty. Triple ouch. . .

Thanks for the video. I didn't think shanking was possible with a wood. When I shank it goes off the inside of the hosel of an iron and shoots off about 45deg away from me and almost hits my pp to my immediate right

Actually, that's more commonly called "heeling".

How about "reverse" shank

No its not.

Heeling is a general term to describe the ball being hit at the heel.

It can go right (shank) which is more common.

It can go left like in this video which I rarely see

When most players hit of the heel of the iron it usually shoots off the inside part of the hosel and shoot right called it a shank.

Its very hard to hit dead smack in the middle of the hosel and go straight as hosel is  rounded, so ball has to go either right or left.

More often right and called a shank.

[dchoye]

How about "reverse" shank

I like that term.

thumbs up for reverse shank.
