Iron, perhaps –- one in bag? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf club

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

'iron perhaps' is the definition.

'one in bag?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'club' (I've seen this before) and 'club' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'golf' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for golf club that I've seen before include "Wood, possibly" , "driver, for example" , "Spoon possibly" , "nineteenth hole" , "Eg, a putter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
