Crossword Genius

Turn left and feminine! Game? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf

'game?' is the definition.
(golf is an example)

'turn left and feminine' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'left' becomes 'L' (common abbreviation).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'feminine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation listed in Chambers).
'go'+'l'+'f'='GOLF'

(Other definitions for golf that I've seen before include "Sport in which the Ryder Cup features" , "Irons and woods sport" , "Game involving woods and irons" , "a few rounds?" , "Code word for the letter G" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
