Fellow apt to cheat at golf? (3)
I believe the answer is:
dog
'fellow' is the definition.
(dog is a kind of fellow)
'cheat at golf?' is the wordplay.
'cheat' becomes 'do'.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'golf?' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'do'+'g'='DOG'
'apt to' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dog that I've seen before include "Cur" , "Shadow" , "Follow - canine" , "Follow; pet" , "Domestic animal" .)
