Donald discusses the importance of understanding correct technique to generate feel. Luke's wedge set up also plays a crucial role in teh quality of his short game.
The Buckinghamshire born golfer also addresses the issue of landing spots and how he uses technique, particularly the position of the golf club, to get a feel for the game and how to play winning shots.
