Like the incompetent golfer's luck? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rough
This could be a double definition.
'like' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'incompetent golfer's luck?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rough that I've seen before include "Not smooth, even or regular" , "general" , "Not gentle; unrefined" , "Rasping" , "Estimated" .)
