Raye played some golf from January to December (4-5)
I believe the answer is:
year-round
'january to december' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'raye played some golf' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates anagramming the letters.
'some golf' becomes 'round' (round is a kind of golf).
'raye' with letters rearranged gives 'year'.
'year'+'round'='YEAR-ROUND'
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for year-round that I've seen is " Across all seasons".)
