A record's for playing around clubs? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scorecard

'a record's for playing around clubs?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a record's for playing around clubs?' is the wordplay.
'for playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'clubs?' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'a'+'records'='arecords'
'arecords' anagrammed gives 'scoreard'.
'scoreard' going around 'c' is 'SCORECARD'.

(Other definitions for scorecard that I've seen before include "Sheet for noting game points" , "Record kept by golfer as he plays the course" , "Place to record game totals" , "Item filled in by a golfer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
