Bouncer sent out by club? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

golf ball

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

'club?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'bouncer sent out by' is the wordplay.
'bouncer' becomes 'ball' (something that bounces).
'sent out' becomes 'golf' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'ball' put after 'golf' is 'GOLF-BALL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for golf ball that I've seen before include "Object driven by club towards hole" , "It may be hit by putter" , "one must take on one's rounds" , "Pill" , "Links projectile" .)
