Mocking person? Golf clubs broken by the first tee (7)
I believe the answer is:
ironist
'mocking person?' is the definition.
'ironist' can be an answer for 'person?' (ironist is a kind of person). I am not sure about the 'mocking' bit.
'golf clubs broken by the first tee' is the wordplay.
'golf clubs' becomes 'irons' (I've seen this in another clue).
'broken by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters break into the word).
'the first' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral for one or first).
'tee' becomes 't'.
'irons' going around 'i' is 'ironis'.
'ironis'+'t'='IRONIST'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ironist that I've seen before include "Swift, for one" , "Satirical speaker" , "One using a form of satire" , "Quasi-satirical humorist" , "One speaking with hidden meaning" .)
