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

'huge growth' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'ruined saudi golf ending in disaster' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'ending in' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'disaster' is 'r'.
'saudi'+'golf'='saudigolf'
'saudigolf' anagrammed gives 'douglasfi'.
'douglasfi'+'r'='DOUGLAS FIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for douglas fir that I've seen is " tree".)
