Outdoor man getting a bad score (8)
I believe the answer is:
alfresco
'outdoor' is the definition.
('alfresco' can be similar in meaning to 'outdoor')
'man getting a bad score' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'alf' (I've seen this before**).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'score' with letters rearranged gives 'resco'.
'alf'+'resco'='ALFRESCO'
(Other definitions for alfresco that I've seen before include "Located outdoors" , "In the open air" , "where it's cool" , "Meal eaten in the outdoors" , "Out of doors" .)
