Placing the inexperienced in some golf course (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
putting green
'some golf course' is the definition.
'putting green' can be an answer for 'course' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'some golf' bit.
'placing the inexperienced' is the wordplay.
'placing' becomes 'putting' ('put' can be a synonym of 'place').
'the inexperienced' becomes 'green' (I've seen this before).
'putting'+'green'='PUTTING-GREEN'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
