Panic with tee shot in game (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patience

'game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'panic with tee shot' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'panic' after 'tee' is 'teepanic'.
'teepanic' anagrammed gives 'PATIENCE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for patience that I've seen before include "Card game played by one person" , "Game, tolerance of delay" , "Card came for one" , "Game; forbearance" , "Gilbertian dairymaid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
