Finished in the short stuff next to the fairway (7)
I believe the answer is:
through
'finished' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for through that I've seen before include "Non-stop - finished" , "By way of - exhausted" , "clear" , "Finished; by way of" , "Per" .)
