Three-way intersection

Answer:

TEE

Hint:

Think of a golf club that shares its name with a junction where one path splits from a straight line.

Explanation:

A "three-way intersection" describes a spot where one road splits into two directions, forming a T shape. In golf, this same shape is called a "tee," which is also a short wooden peg used to hold a ball. The clue plays on the double meaning—both the intersection and the golf term share the same name. So "TEE" fits as the answer for its literal and figurative connections.
