'club player' is the definition.
'golfer' can be an answer for 'player' (golfer is a kind of player). I am unsure of the 'club' bit.

'club player' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'golf club' (golf club is a kind of club).
'player' becomes 'er' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
