Gentle strike with a club (4)

I believe the answer is:

putt

(Other definitions for putt that I've seen before include "that's not needed if you chip in" , "Final stroke of hole" , "Attempt to hole ball on green" , "Stroke which hopefully sinks" , "Green stroke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
