Place and time of stroke (4)
I believe the answer is:
putt
'stroke' is the definition.
(I know that putt is a type of golf shot)
'place and time' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'put'+'t'='PUTT'
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for putt that I've seen before include "Golf stroke near hole" , "Play a short golf shot" , "old bumpkin" , "Play short golf stroke" , "Attempt to hole ball on green" .)
