Place tee for golf shot (4)
I believe the answer is:
putt
'golf shot' is the definition.
(putt is a kind of golf shot)
'place tee' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'put' ('put' can be a synonym of 'place'**).
'tee' becomes 't'.
'put'+'t'='PUTT'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for putt that I've seen before include "Green stroke" , "Stroke which hopefully sinks" , "Play ball on green" , "Play a short golf shot" , "old bumpkin" .)
