862 - The Psychology of the Shanks

In the second installment of “NLU Special Projects,” Kevin Van Valkenburg takes us through a universal nightmare for any golfer: having a case of the shanks. He gets insights from pros like Tiger, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler, as well as amateurs, coaches, and even a hypnotist, all in an effort to unravel one of golf’s most universally dreaded experiences.
