Views hole: golf club’s not right to tackle flag (7)

I believe the answer is:

opinion

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

'views' is the definition.
(opinion means views or perceptions)

'hole golf club's not right to tackle flag' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'hole' could be 'o' (O looks like a hole) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'flag' could be 'pin' (synonyms) and 'pin' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for opinion that I've seen before include "impression" , "Viewpoint" , "Unproved belief or view" , "Unproven belief" , "View, judgement" .)
