terror

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'blind panic' is the definition.
'terror' can be an answer for 'panic' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'blind' bit.

'first tee leads to inaccuracy' is the wordplay.
'first tee' becomes 't' (1st letter of 'tee').
'leads to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'inaccuracy' becomes 'error' (I've seen this in another clue).
't'+'error'='TERROR'

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for terror that I've seen before include "consternation" , "State of extreme fear" , "Extreme fright or dread" , "Sheer fright" , "Mischief-maker; dread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
