When it comes to golf, shanks are a debilitating flaw. It is hard to deal with them once you catch them, and getting rid of shanks can be an arduous process.

However Dom DiJulia, of Jericho National Golf Club in New Hope and one of GOLF Top 100 Teachers, has a few tricks up his sleeve on how to help with this.

To solve the problem of shanks, he says it is necessary to stay further from the ball at impact.

One way that you can achieve this is when you set your club down next to the golf ball, set the toe of the club at the ball instead of setting the center of the club there.

Then you have to ensure that your setup is extended in a way so that, if anything, you struggle to reach the ball at impact instead of ending up becoming too close.

Finally, when you swing through the impact, try to tilt your head as if you are backing it away from the ball rather than moving towards it.
