Irritating uncovered dangers in golf (8)

I believe the answer is:

angering

'irritating' is the definition.

'uncovered dangers in golf' is the wordplay.
'uncovered' means to look at the middle letters.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
The middle letters of 'dangers' are 'anger'.
'anger'+'in'+'g'='ANGERING'
