Clue to go for driven type (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf ball

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

'driven type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'clue to go' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'go' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for golf ball that I've seen before include "It gets driven!" , "Pill" , "Links projectile" , "It may be hit by putter" , "Object driven by club towards hole" .)
