Covering golf, broadcast outlined distance, one way or another (9)
I believe the answer is:
longitude
'distance one way or another' is the definition.
'covering golf broadcast outlined' is the wordplay.
'covering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters.
'outlined' anagrammed gives 'lonitude'.
'g' inserted within 'lonitude' is 'LONGITUDE'.
(Other definitions for longitude that I've seen before include "Degree from Greenwich" , "Length" , "Distance east or west of the Greenwich meridian" , "Distance in degrees" , "Imaginary circles of distance east or west" .)
