Game of golf embraced by newlywed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bridge

'game' is the definition.
(card game)

'golf embraced by newlywed' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'embraced by' indicates putting letters inside.
'newlywed' becomes 'bride' (bride is a kind of newlywed).
'g' put inside 'bride' is 'BRIDGE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bridge that I've seen before include "indoor game" , "Pontoon is one" , "Game of cards" , "Overpass" , "link" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
