Golf shot (4)
I believe the answer is:
chip
'golf shot' is the definition.
(chip is a kind of golf shot)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for chip that I've seen before include "Small fragment, off the old block possibly" , "Off the old block, that's junior" , "Piece of fried potato" , "Sliver of wood or piece of potato" , "Short lofted golf shot" .)
