I played a round of golf yesterday evening after I got home from work.
During the course of this round I hit three seven iron shots that were dreadful!
Tonight, again after work I took my seven iron and pitching wedge to the practice ground.
Well, what a nightmare!!!
I couldn't get the ball off the ground.......
It was going right of the target and slicing.......
Nothing I tried seemed to stop this.
I had only hit about eighteen balls when I decided the best course of action was to stop the practice session as I had no idea what I was doing wrong.
With my pitching wedge I went down to collect the few balls I had hit down the range, this was made more difficult due to the golf club having held a demo day and there being loads of range balls all over the place.
Now with my pitching wedge I was hitting the ball well, apart from the very odd shot.
Once I had collected my practice balls I started hitting some of the range balls with my seven iron.
It was then that I noticed the marks on the hosel of my club.
This explained all those poor shots, I was shanking the ball!
Now I've never done this before and it comes as a bit of a shock especially as I've been striking the ball so well lately.
Any ideas what I should do to correct this problem?
