Get me out one wood and one old iron (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mashie

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

'iron' is the definition.
(mashie is old-fashioned slang for a golf club)

'get me out one wood and one old' is the wordplay.
'get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'out' means to remove the last letter.
'one wood' becomes 'ash' (wood from an ash tree).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one old' becomes 'ie' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'me' with its last letter taken off is 'm'.
'm' next to 'ash' is 'mash'.
'mash'+'ie'='MASHIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mashie that I've seen before include "Old golf club" , "One of 9 [CLUBS]" , "He aims (anag) - golfer's five iron, formerly" , "Old-fashioned golf club" , "Golf club for lofting" .)
