foreleg

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

'front support' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'golfer used round the end of the tee' is the wordplay.
'used' is an anagram indicator.
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'tee' is 'e'.
'golfer' with letters rearranged gives 'forleg'.
'forleg' placed around 'e' is 'FORELEG'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for foreleg that I've seen is " Quadruped's front limb".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
