Slice the approach shot (4)

I believe the answer is:

chip

This clue is a double definition.

'slice' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the approach shot' is the second definition.
(chip is a kind of approach shot)

(Other definitions for chip that I've seen before include "Fragment; counter" , "Small piece of stone or silicon" , "Roulette counter" , "Gambling token" , "Piece of potato (on a resentful person's shoulder?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
