Pressed for a Club Editor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ironed

'pressed' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'a club editor' is the wordplay.
'a club' becomes 'iron' (type of golf club).
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'iron'+'ed'='IRONED'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for ironed that I've seen before include "Smoothed the cloth with heat" , "Removed creases" , "flattened" , "Decreased?" , "Had an evening out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
