Golf side’s sad, wretched existence (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dogs life

'wretched existence' is the definition.

'golf side's sad' is the wordplay.
'sad' indicates an anagram.
'golf'+'side'='golfside'
'golfside' is an anagram of 'DOGS LIFE'.

(Other definitions for dogs life that I've seen before include "Miserable existence of canine origin" , "A really rotten existence of canine origin" , "A miserable existence of canine analogy (3'1,4)" , "hard time" , "Miserable existence of canine hue (3'1,4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
