'let's hope for good luck' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'skill with golf club' is the wordplay.
'skill' becomes 'touch' (I've seen this before).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'golf club' becomes 'wood' (I've seen this before).
'touch'+'wood'='TOUCH-WOOD'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for touch wood that I've seen before include "all being well" , "Take superstitious action to avoid bad luck" , "ward off evil?" , "Make superstitious gesture" .)
