Inflexible hold on a club? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
iron grip
'inflexible' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'hold on a club?' is the wordplay.
'hold' becomes 'grip' (synonyms).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a club?' becomes 'iron' (type of golf club).
'grip' after 'iron' is 'IRON GRIP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
