shankopotamus 

A golfer gravely afflicted by the "s" word of golf--the shanks (i.e., hitting the ball off the hosel of the club, resulting in shots that go pretty much dead right with relatively little distance).

shankopotomus 

derived from the word shank, word meaning to hit a golf ball to the side of the course opposite the golfer's stance.
Shankopotomus defines a golfer with a propensity for this error. Someone who is a large shanker. Double extra huge shanker. A shanker extraordinaire. Frank.
Go in the woods to find your ball- shankopotomus.

shankopotamus 

When someone very, very badly hits a golf ball in a high-pressure situation. This also applies to field goal kicks where the kicker badly chokes. This word is the portmanteau of shank (as hitting a golf ball way off course) and hippopotamus. This word is designed to conjure up images of the worst choke performance you can imagine.
It came down to the last hole, and Gary did a complete shankopotamus. The ball traveled about 10 feet off the tee into the water. He never recovered, lost the round, and lost the game.
