gambit

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

'risky move' is the definition.
'gambit' can be an answer for 'move' (gambit is a kind of move). I'm not certain of the 'risky' bit.

'golf range's' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'range' becomes 'ambit' (synonyms).
'g'+'ambit'='GAMBIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gambit that I've seen before include "Opening comment" , "opening on board" , "Opening manoeuvre" , "Opening action" , "An opening sacrifice in chess for positional advantage" .)
