What damage to a green may do to a golfer? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrage

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

'what damage' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'green may do to a golfer?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to a' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'green' is 'enrge' which is within the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrage that I've seen before include "Revolutionary group in Paris" , "Make violently angry" , "Cause to see red" , "Incense" , "French revolutionary group" .)
