Pleas can someone explain why the answer to a clue in the Telegraph the other day was arrived at? It was 'Beats backs' and the answer was golf. I simply can't fathom why

flog - to beat. Backwards - golf
Flog reversed.
Golf is flog reversed
To make perfect sense the clue should read Beat Backs or Beat Back. Beats is off-putting as it is not reflected in the answer.

i doubt if 'beats back' was the full clue
That's what I thought.
Actual clue was #Beat backs in game (4)#
the full clue was 16a Beat backs in game (4)
