Drive's big — what may follow? (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
approach shot
'what may follow?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'drive's big' is the wordplay.
'drive's' becomes 'approachs' (both can mean a road or street).
'big' becomes 'hot' (both can mean popular or trendy).
'approachs'+'hot'='APPROACH SHOT'
(Another definition for approach shot that I've seen is " Made by golfers towards the green".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
