Device for raising water a golf club's set up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noria

'device for raising water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a golf club's set up' is the wordplay.
'golf club' becomes 'iron' (I've seen this before).
'set up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'a'+'iron'='airon'
'airon' reversed gives 'NORIA'.

(Other definitions for noria that I've seen before include "raising water from the stream" , "system to help irrigation" , "device for raising water" , "supplier of water" , "means of raising water" .)

I've seen this clue in the Independent.
