I was struggling with yesterday's until I constructed an odd phrase. I didn't know what it meant, so I Googled, and went to a site that gave me most of the rest of the answers - most unsatisfactory!

Hi roof
It took me some time to parse 19 too. It's "racing ground" (thematic) missing the first letter inside an old bob (not Bob!) and "champion"
20 night - bridge partners - excited

Thanks Chrise
I've managed to put in answers for all three, but am none the wiser abour the parsing of 29 ac as I know no golfers, backwards or forwards. But thanks for your help. Time to get ready to go to the Kennedy centre for a concert. Just bragging.
