Lack of interest in a course close to Turnberry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apathy

'lack of interest' is the definition.

'a course close to turnberry' is the wordplay.
'course' becomes 'path' ('path' can be a synonym of 'course').
'close to' suggests the final letters (the close/ending of).
The last letter of 'turnberry' is 'y'.
'a'+'path'+'y'='APATHY'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for apathy that I've seen before include "Lack of interest or concern" , "Torpor" , "lack of involvement" , "Lack of interest in things in general" , "Lack of emotion and interest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
