This might be used for putting young animal outside pound (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

club

'this might be used for' is the definition.
(a golf club is used for putting)

'young animal outside pound' is the wordplay.
'young animal' becomes 'cub' (eg a young bear).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'pound' becomes 'L' (abbreviation e.g. Lsd - pounds, shillings, pence).
'cub' going around 'l' is 'CLUB'.

'putting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for club that I've seen before include "'Short stick, card suit and association (4)'" , "Association for people with common interest" , "Kind of weapon or golf stick" , "See 1" , "Weapon for an association" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
