Crossword Genius

Delight from golf, even regularly missing (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glee

'delight' is the definition.
(glee can mean great joy)

'golf even regularly missing' is the wordplay.
'regularly missing' means one should take alternating letters (letters removed at regular intervals).
'golf'+'even'='golfeven'
The alternate letters of 'golfeven' are 'GLEE'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for glee that I've seen before include "Merriment or gloating" , "Happiness" , "Great pleasure" , "Elation" , "Type of club" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
