Place for drivers there from time to time (3)
I believe the answer is:
tee
'place for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'there from time to time' is the wordplay.
'from time to time' indicates alternate letters (letters removed on a regular basis).
The alternate letters of 'there' are 'TEE'.
'drivers' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tee that I've seen before include "A golfer hits from here" , "Starting peg" , "supporter on course" , "Drive off it, half-tittering" , "Golfer drives from it" .)
