Golf clubs Director brought into courts (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

woods

'golf clubs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'director brought into courts' is the wordplay.
'director' becomes 'd' (abbreviation eg in film reviews).
'brought into' is an insertion indicator.
'courts' becomes 'woos' (woo can mean to court romantically).
'd' going inside 'woos' is 'WOODS'.

(Other definitions for woods that I've seen before include "Tiger --, golfer" , "Groups of trees" , "Collection of closely packed trees" , "very tall if red" , "Collections of trees, closely packed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
