Present golf foursome approaching second in Wentworth (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

give

'present' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'golf foursome approaching second in wentworth' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'foursome' becomes 'IV' (synonyms).
'approaching' says to put letters next to each other.
'second in wentworth' becomes 'e' (2nd letter of 'wentworth').
'g'+'iv'+'e'='GIVE'

(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "concede" , "There's lead" , "Bestow or donate" , "old-fashioned shackle" , "Donate or hand over" .)
