Fair ball or tee shot (9)
I believe the answer is:
tolerable
'fair' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'ball or tee shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'ball'+'or'+'tee'='ballortee'
'ballortee' is an anagram of 'TOLERABLE'.
(Other definitions for tolerable that I've seen before include "Adequate" , "Passable" , "Mediocre" , "Fairly good" , "Bearable" .)
