Assembling, as partners may be, on green? (7,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

putting together

'assembling' is the definition.
('put together' can be a synonym of 'assemble')

'partners may be on green?' is the wordplay.
'partners may' becomes 'together' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'be on' says to put letters next to each other.
'green?' becomes 'putting' (synonyms).
'together' put after 'putting' is 'PUTTING TOGETHER'.

'as' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
