Equal pressure on amateur in type of golf game (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
match play
'type of golf game' is the definition.
'equal pressure on amateur' is the wordplay.
'equal' becomes 'match' (matching is a kind of equaling).
'pressure on' becomes 'p' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'amateur' becomes 'lay' ('lay' can be similar in meaning to 'amateur').
'match'+'p'+'lay'='MATCH-PLAY'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for match play that I've seen before include "Golf competition scored by counting holes rather than strokes" , "scoring system" , "Form of golf" .)
