I believe the answer is:

program

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'american broadcast' is the definition.
'program' can be an answer for 'broadcast' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'american' bit.

'professional golf and stuff' is the wordplay.
'professional' becomes 'pro' (abbreviation).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'stuff' becomes 'ram' (ram can mean to stuff or push).
'pro'+'g'+'ram'='PROGRAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for program that I've seen before include "system of instructions" , "Sequence of instructions to a computer" , "US broadcast" , "Instructions for PC, say" , "Enabling instructions for computer" .)
