Wedge, say, taking divot before a possible splash? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

club soda

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

'possible splash?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'wedge say taking divot before a' is the wordplay.
'wedge say' becomes 'club' (wedge is a kind of club).
'taking divot before' becomes 'sod' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'club'+'sod'+'a'='CLUB SODA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for club soda that I've seen before include "Carbonated water (US)" , "Fizzy drink" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
