Hi everyone 
I am new to the Golf Tuition Online forum and found the site looking for help with the "shanks". I was glad to hear it is normally a problem found with lower handicappers. My game has really come around in the last year as I have been playing for about 7 years. I have read through all the posts about the shanks and have some ideas of what is causing it for me. Earlier I could never get my wood play and iron play to be good at the same time. I finally cured the slice I had off the tee box as I was coming "over the top". I learned the proper swing path and can now draw the ball with the driver and 3 wood. For a couple of months I was breaking 80 on shorter courses. Then the dreaded shanks showed up and I felt as if I had just picked up the clubs for the first time. The last time I played with the guys I shanked 6 shots on the front nine and shot a 46. I slowed everything down and got myself mentally back in the game to recover with a 39 on the back nine with 2 birdies.
I enjoy the game immensely and look forward to reading and sharing the game with others in this forum.
