eagle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'texan golfer occasionally' is the wordplay.
'occasionally' means one should take alternating letters.
'texan'+'golfer'='texangolfer'
The alternate letters of 'texangolfer' are 'EAGLE'.

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
