They make for the woods (7)

I believe the answer is:

drivers

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

'woods' is the definition.
(I know this)

'they make' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'make' could be 'drive' (driving is a kind of making) and 'drive' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drivers that I've seen before include "Motoring" , "Chauffeurs" , "People taking cars" , "9 [CLUBS]" , "Golf clubs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
