Like a poor golfer’s luck? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rough
This might be a double definition.
'like' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a poor golfer's luck?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rough that I've seen before include "Not gentle; unrefined" , "general" , "Jagged" , "Boisterous; uneven" , "Not level or smooth, like part of golf course" .)
