Disconcerting, inaccurate strokes with golf club (3-7)
I believe the answer is:
off-putting
'disconcerting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'inaccurate strokes with golf club' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'inaccurate' could be 'off' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'off' is found within the answer.
'golf' could be 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'g' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for off-putting that I've seen before include "Disconcerting" , "Discouraging" .)
