I believe the answer is:

eyeglass

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a solitary spectacle?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'watch golf with young woman' is the wordplay.
'watch' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this before).
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'young woman' becomes 'lass' (lass is a kind of young woman**).
'eye'+'g'+'lass'='EYEGLASS'

'that's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyeglass that I've seen before include "Aid to vision" , "Monocle, or spectacles in plural" , "Lens for aiding defective vision" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
