Could someone please give me a nudge on the 3rd sport clue. This puzzles construction is remarkably similar to that off this week listener.

Thanks brendan, my only (minor) gripe with this puzzle is the vagueness of some of the clues. A hint to the sport involved would have helped, but I now have an improved knowledge of golf!!!

Thanks Brendan, I really should have spotted that myself. Award yourself a shot of agave juice!

Thanks Sloth, but I don't think it was that obvious, I mean, when was the last time "quiet" in a barred puzzle led to anything other than 'p', 'sh', 'st' etc?

I will have that shot of agave juice, though - sounds delish 😋

All done but stuck on H clue Peacemaker in Ireland, one having nothing to lose. (6) I have .IREN. Have I gone wrong somewhere?

Hi Fgsltw,

4 letter "Ireland" + 2 letter "one having nothing to lose" - definition is "peacemaker" (Goddess of peace in Greek mythology)

Fgsltw, No! Your letters are fine, Concentrate on the second clause in the sentence/clue, it uses a pretty normal clue device...
