The scariest shot in golf: On Friday the 13th, let’s look back on some of the best shanks we’ve seen on the PGA Tour

From personal experience, the shank is the scariest shot in golf. Everything in your swing feels the same, but for some reason, the ball consistently hits nothing but the hosel.

Are they funny when you just hit one? Sure.

Are they funny when you run through an entire bucket at the range and 90 percent of them went 45 degrees to your right? Absolutely not.

We’ve seen some of the best players in the world hit some fantastic shanks over the years, so we thought today, Friday the 13th, was the perfect day to look back on some of the best shanks we’ve seen on the PGA Tour.
