'award' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'golf precedes this person's' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'precedes' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'this person' becomes 'ive' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'g'+'ive'='GIVE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "be generous?" , "old-fashioned shackle" , "To yield; resilience" , "Offer, elasticity" , "concede" .)
