Gold in toilet facility for the president of the yacht club! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

commodore

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for the president of the yacht club' is the definition.
(a yacht club's president is called a commodore)

'gold in toilet' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'toilet' becomes 'commode' (synonyms).
'or' put into 'commode' is 'COMMODORE'.

'facility' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for commodore that I've seen before include "senior officer" , "Naval rank junior to rear-admiral" , "President of a yacht club" , "Naval officer" , "officer, surely?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
