Slight wound is no handicap (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scratch

I believe this is a double definition.

'slight wound' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'no handicap' is the second definition.
(scratch handicap is a zero handicap in golf)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scratch that I've seen before include "Improvised" , "Score - postpone indefinitely" , "Score, mark; cancel" , "score with > no handicap given" , "Superficial damage; withdraw" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
