tee shot

Hole's first stroke

A tee shot is the first stroke on a golf hole, played from the tee box.

The term usually refers to drives on longer holes, where the goal is distance: She crushed her tee shot down the middle of the fairway.

A good tee shot sets up the rest of the hole; a bad one can mean trouble from the start.
