Six iron, say, oddly unpractical (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

visionary

'unpractical' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'six iron say oddly' is the wordplay.
'six' becomes 'vi' (roman numeral).
'oddly' is an anagram indicator.
'iron'+'say'='ironsay'
'ironsay' with letters rearranged gives 'sionary'.
'vi'+'sionary'='VISIONARY'

(Other definitions for visionary that I've seen before include "impracticable" , "Prophetic" , "Idealistic" , "Seer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
