Facing genius penning volume on golf (7)
I believe the answer is:
braving
'facing' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'genius penning volume on golf' is the wordplay.
'genius' becomes 'brain' (synonyms).
'penning' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'volume' becomes 'v' (abbreviation for volume in book titles).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'brain' enclosing 'v' is 'bravin'.
'bravin'+'g'='BRAVING'
