Depending on where your ball lies, you won't always have a straight route to the flag, so it's important to learn how to shape golf shots.

Picture this ... you've hit a good drive down the fairway, only to realise the hole is a dog leg and you've been blocked out by the trees. 

You now have two options: lay up, or hit the club you need and shape the shot onto the green.

If the latter option feels you with dread, you need to watch our next video with Samantha Head. Samantha show us how to shape golf shots to help you save par. 

Practice this and we promise you'll notice in on the scorecard.
