Nick making a golf shot (4)
I believe the answer is:
chip
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'nick' is the first definition.
(I know that nick can be written as chip)
'a golf shot' is the second definition.
(chip is a kind of golf shot)
'making' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for chip that I've seen before include "Piece of potato (found on someone's shoulder?)" , "one bit of fast food > counter" , "Fragment broken off" , "Piece off block (or on shoulder?)" , "Roulette counter" .)
