Predicament — golfer's target (4)
I believe the answer is:
hole
I believe this is a double definition.
'predicament' is the first definition.
(hole can mean a difficult situation)
'golfer's target' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for hole that I've seen before include "Awkward situation" , "Opening on golf course" , "Puncture" , "Aperture; pit" , "This in one is a golfer's dream!" .)
