Each golfer regularly wanting this? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eagle

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

'this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'each golfer regularly' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'ea' (abbreviation).
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternate letters of 'golfer' are 'gle'.
'ea'+'gle'='EAGLE'

'wanting' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "Valuable piece" , "Erne, perhaps" , "might one be bald?" , "drugs with silver left inside" , "Two under in 20 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
