Dry place for golfer to stand on every shot he takes (8)
I believe the answer is:
teetotal
'dry' is the definition.
(I know that dry can be written as teetotal)
'for golfer to stand on every shot he takes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'for' could be 'to' (eg both can mean 'in the opinion of') and 'to' is located in the answer.
'stand' could be 'tee' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'tee' is located in the answer.
'he' could be 'al' and 'al' is found within the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'place' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teetotal that I've seen before include "Not touching a drop" , "Sober" , "Abstaining completely from alcohol" , "Pledged to abstain from alcohol" , "not taking a drop" .)
