Okay, let’s talk about this whole Anthony Kim shank thing. I’ve been following this guy’s comeback for a while now, and honestly, it’s been a rollercoaster. You know, the rumors about him getting back into golf, signing with LIV, the whole nine yards. But seeing this shank happen, it was just… something else.
So, I started my morning checking out golf news as usual. I saw all these headlines about Kim playing in some International Series event in Qatar. That’s cool, I thought. He’s getting ready for another shot at LIV Golf in 2025, it seems. He even mentioned it in some interview before the tournament.
Then, things got interesting. I stumbled upon this video, I think it was shared by Shane Bacon, and it’s Kim at some tournament. The ball’s sitting above his feet, which is always tricky. And boom! He swings, and that ball just takes off to the right. Like, way right. It ended up on another fairway. A total shank. You could just feel the collective groan of everyone watching.
Now, to be fair, I read that his opening drive on the par-5 18th was decent. It was nothing special but he got away with it. He has been gone for 12 years after all. But this shank? It really got people talking. I mean, this is Anthony Kim we’re talking about! The guy was a Ryder Cup hero. But here he was, shanking one like a weekend duffer. I spent the next hour or so just reading through comments and reactions online. It was a mix of shock, sympathy, and, of course, some good-natured ribbing.
What happened with him?
- Rumors I kept seeing rumors about his future.
- Injuries Kim has been battling with injuries over the past few years, mentioning in a recent interview that he had multiple shoulder and hand surgeries, even a spinal fusion.
- Mental Game And then there’s the mental aspect. He talked about how his wife and daughter have helped him get back on track. It sounds like he’s been on a real journey of rediscovery.
But still, seeing that shank, it made me think about how tough it must be to come back after such a long time, especially with all these physical and mental hurdles. I ended up spending the rest of the day thinking about Kim’s journey and how this shank is just a small part of a much bigger story. It’s a story of resilience, of trying to find your way back to something you love, even when the odds are stacked against you. I can’t wait to see what he does next. Maybe he’ll make the team, maybe he won’t, but I’ll be watching for sure.
Anyway, that’s my little story about the Anthony Kim shank. It’s a reminder that even the best in the world can have those off moments. It’s just part of the game, and it’s what makes golf so darn interesting.
