Comparatively few are below par, of course (7)
I believe the answer is:
strokes
'comparatively few are below par' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'course' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'course' could be 's' and 's' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'trokes' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
