Boring article, on golf, they’ve permitted me (6)
I believe the answer is:
gimlet
'boring article' is the definition.
(tool for boring holes)
'golf they've permitted me' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'golf' could be 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'g' is present in the answer.
'permitted' could be 'let' (I've seen this before) and 'let' is found within the answer.
'me' could be 'i' and 'i' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'm' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'on' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gimlet that I've seen before include "Gin and lime juice cocktail - boring tool" , "Wood-boring tool" , "Cocktail of gin, or sometimes vodka, and lime juice" , "The Netherlands - are islands in the Caribbean" , "Boring tool; US cocktail" .)
