Range of gold section (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orbit

'range' is the definition.
('orbit' can be a synonym of 'range')

'gold section' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'section' becomes 'bit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'or'+'bit'='ORBIT'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for orbit that I've seen before include "Circling path" , "Revolve round" , "Planet's track" , "Lunar trajectory" , "Field of influence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
