Move to Dubai, say, covering golf? (8)
I believe the answer is:
emigrate
'move' is the definition.
(to emigrate is to move to another country)
'dubai say covering golf?' is the wordplay.
'dubai say' becomes 'emirate' (Dubai is an example).
'covering' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'golf?' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'emirate' enclosing 'g' is 'EMIGRATE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for emigrate that I've seen before include "don't come back!" , "Change country of residence" , "Leave to settle in another country" , "Settle overseas" , "Move abroad" .)
