approach shot
Fairway to green
An approach shot is a stroke intended to land on or near the green in golf, or to move a player toward the net in tennis.
In golf, approach shots typically follow the drive, using mid-range clubs to set up a putt: Her approach shot landed six feet from the pin.
In tennis, an approach shot precedes moving forward to volley.
