Song Description

"I Got the Shanks" is a humorous golf song, by 3 Off the Tee & 1 Putz for the PGA Championship edition of the Golf Podcast called "Shooting the Breeze on the 19th Hole". The song is about the most dreaded affliction any Golfer could ever face...the shanks. It tells of how a Golfer could think he has the game figured out until he becomes mentally vulnerable to...you guessed it...the shanks.

Lyrics

Everything is right
I could hit that ball with all my might
Every shot I hit was on a straight line
Never saw the rough, A bunker, no shot too tough
Never played a match from behind
Then all of a sudden, my hands would shake
The green got smaller, could feel the earth quake
My confidence is the only thing that sank...
I got the shanks
I got the shanks

I used to be the one
Golf...was so much fun
All the experts tell me it's in my head
I used to take my stance
Take dead aim, a golf God trance
Now every shot is a feeling of dread
If I don't hit it way right, I hit it fat
I aim way left, what the hell's with that?
Golf Pirates make me walk the plank...
I got the shanks
I got the shanks

Bridge: I used to be a scratch Golfer
Now the only thing I scratch is my head
I used to know I can do this
But the Golfing Gods have left me seeing red

I was under control
I knew this game, was in my soul
Could hit it on a rope, spin the ball
My grip was not, "kill the bird light"
Every muscle in my body, not one was tight
Could always feel that I could win it all
Then a "hossel-rocket, everything changed
That fateful moment, never be the same
Wall Street crashed and now I run a Bank...
I got the shanks
I got the shanks
I got the shanks
I got the shanks
