I have to follow daughter to seedy club (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dive

'seedy club' is the definition.

'i have to follow daughter' is the wordplay.
'i have' becomes 'ive' ().
'to follow' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'ive' put after 'd' is 'DIVE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dive that I've seen before include "Leap into water" , "Plunge into - disreputable club" , "sleazy bar" , "Plunge head first" , "Plummet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
