Golf score can make a good story (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parable

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

'a good story' is the definition.
'parable' can be an answer for 'story' (parable is a kind of story). I'm not sure about the 'a good' bit.

'golf score can' is the wordplay.
'golf score' becomes 'par' (I've seen this in another clue).
'can' becomes 'able' (I've seen this in other clues).
'par'+'able'='PARABLE'

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parable that I've seen before include "Biblical allegory" , "Gospel story" , "scripture lesson" , "Moral-carrying story" , "Story with ethical point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
