Manage to get a golf game by artful deception (9)
I believe the answer is:
runaround
'artful deception' is the definition.
'runaround' can be an answer for 'deception' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'artful' bit.
'manage to get a golf game' is the wordplay.
'manage' becomes 'run' (both can mean to organise).
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'golf game' becomes 'round' (round is a kind of golf game).
'run'+'a'+'round'='RUNAROUND'
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for runaround that I've seen before include "small car" , "deception" .)
