Communication brought to me on the second green (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

message

'communication' is the definition.
(I know that communication can be written as message)

'brought to me on the second green' is the wordplay.
'brought to' says to put letters next to each other.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'green' becomes 'sage' (sage green is a kind of green).
'me'+'s'='mes'
'mes' put next to 'sage' is 'MESSAGE'.

(Other definitions for message that I've seen before include "Brief communication" , "Signal" , "The medium is the - (McLuhan)" , "Missive" , "meaning" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
