Scoffed after golf club gave information in small doses (8)
I believe the answer is:
spoonfed
'gave information in small doses' is the definition.
'scoffed after golf club' is the wordplay.
'scoffed' becomes 'fed'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'golf club' becomes 'spoon' (historical type of golf club).
'fed' put after 'spoon' is 'SPOONFED'.
(Other definitions for spoonfed that I've seen before include "Given too much information" , "Spoilt" .)
