This might be a double definition.

'whence to drive' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a fair way?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tee that I've seen before include "Golfing support" , "Where a hole starts" , "Golfer drives from it" , "Part of course" , "support of leisure activity" .)
