Count golf shot, without ball rising (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
tot up
'count' is the definition.
(to tot up is to count or add up)
'golf shot without ball rising' is the wordplay.
'golf shot' becomes 'putt' (putt is a kind of golf shot).
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'ball' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ball).
'rising' says the letters should be written backwards (going up in a down clue).
'putt' enclosing 'o' is 'putot'.
'putot' back-to-front is 'TOT UP'.
(Other definitions for tot up that I've seen before include "Determine the sum of" , "Do summer job" , "Sum - total" , "Add (some numbers)" , "Add together (driving offences)" .)
