Dash after writer in club (7)
I believe the answer is:
niblick
'club' is the definition.
(niblick is a kind of club)
'dash after writer' is the wordplay.
'dash' becomes 'lick' (both can mean a small amount).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'writer' becomes 'nib' (something which writes).
'lick' after 'nib' is 'NIBLICK'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for niblick that I've seen before include "Old iron" , "No 9 iron" , "Old golf club" , "number eight say" , "Golf iron" .)
