Golf club about to be engulfed by the press (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

three iron

'golf club' is the definition.
(I know that three-iron is a type of golf club)

'about to be engulfed by the press' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'to be engulfed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'press' becomes 'iron' (ironing is a kind of pressing).
're' inserted into 'the' is 'three'.
'three'+'iron'='THREE IRON'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
