Stroke from club holding end of putter (5)
I believe the answer is:
drive
'stroke' is the definition.
(drive is a kind of stroke)
'club holding end of putter' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'dive' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'putter' is 'r'.
'dive' enclosing 'r' is 'DRIVE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for drive that I've seen before include "sustained military assault" , "Urge along" , "Propel; outing" , "computer store" , "Operate or control a vehicle" .)
