Young woman in Golf nowhere to be seen (7)

I believe the answer is:

missing

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

'nowhere to be seen' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'young woman in golf' is the wordplay.
'young woman' becomes 'miss' (title for a young woman).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'miss'+'in'+'g'='MISSING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for missing that I've seen before include "Absent with location unknown" , "Lost without" , "Not to be found" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
