Standards concerning minister (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parson

'minister' is the definition.
(church minister)

'standards concerning' is the wordplay.
'standards' becomes 'pars' (standards on a golf course).
'concerning' becomes 'on'.
'pars'+'on'='PARSON'

(Other definitions for parson that I've seen before include "One with benefice" , "Rector; clergyman" , "Anglican clergyman" , "Minister of religion" , "man of the church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
