Seek hand of daughter in club (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wood

'club' is the definition.
(wood is a kind of club)

'seek hand of daughter' is the wordplay.
'seek hand of' becomes 'woo' (to woo is to romance or court).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'woo'+'d'='WOOD'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for wood that I've seen before include "Small forest; golf club" , "Large group of trees" , "Section of orchestra" , "'Under Milk - - ' (lit.)" , "Grove" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
