They lay in irons (7)
I believe the answer is:
putters
'irons' is the definition.
(I know this)
'they lay' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'lay' could be 'put' (both can mean to position or place something) and 'put' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for putters that I've seen is " Golf clubs".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
