Key from old man's Golf, say (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

passport

'key' is the definition.
(both can mean a means of accessing something)

'old man's golf say' is the wordplay.
'old man's' becomes 'pa's' (both can mean father).
'golf say' becomes 'sport' (golf is a kind of sport).
'pas'+'sport'='PASSPORT'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for passport that I've seen before include "Official document required for foreign travel" , "Document facilitating travel" , "Travel ID" , "Traveller's aid" , "entry permit?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
