THE KEY TO MASTERING THE KNOCK DOWN SHOT

There is rarely a still day on a links course and controlling your ball fight is essential. The sixth hole at The Renaissance Club at just xxx yards would entice players to reach for a nine iron or even a wedge.

This quick tip will save you shots when it starts to blow.
