Club heading off for location of rowing meet? (5)
I believe the answer is:
river
'location of rowing meet?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'club heading off' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'driver' (type of golf club).
'heading off' means to remove the first letter.
'driver' with its first letter removed is 'RIVER'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for river that I've seen before include "Eg, the Rhine" , "Type of watercourse" , "Tributary" , "Thames is one" , "Eg, Amazon" .)
