Feeble golf becomes an obsession (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thing

'an obsession' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'feeble golf' is the wordplay.
'feeble' becomes 'thin'.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'thin'+'g'='THING'

'becomes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thing that I've seen before include "An unnamed object or item" , "Night (anag)" , "Individual object" , "Inanimate object" , "Obsession" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
