Driving place (3)
I believe the answer is:
tee
'driving place' is the definition.
(a golfer drives a ball from a tee)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for tee that I've seen before include "Starting place on the golf course" , "Golfing support" , "Drive off it, half-tittering" , "Golf peg" , "Starting place for a golfer" .)
