Fling; golf shot (5)
I believe the answer is:
pitch
This clue is a double definition.
'fling' is the first definition.
(I know that pitch is a type of fling)
'golf shot' is the second definition.
(I know that pitch is a type of approach)
(Other definitions for pitch that I've seen before include "Throw or fall headlong" , "perfect for some players" , "cast?" , "Football ground" , "Sales talk - where games are played" .)
