Winds concerning a golfer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reels

'winds' is the definition.
(reeling is a kind of winding)

'concerning a golfer' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'a golfer' becomes 'els' (Ernie Els - former number one professional golfer).
're'+'els'='REELS'

(Other definitions for reels that I've seen before include "Staggers about in lively dances" , "Spools" , "Goes round and round" , "Folk dances" , "Highland dances" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
