For sure, I get stuck on these double meaning clues all the time! Besides 'golf shot computer hardware' = 'chip,' there are loads more like that in crosswords, especially in games and tech stuff. Like, sometimes you'll see 'Bat in a cave,' and it's a pun because "bat" can mean the animal or the stick you use in baseball. Another one could be 'Mouse on a desk,' which is funny because it could mean the rodent or the computer mouse.
One time, my friend and I were doing a puzzle and we saw 'Key on a map,' and thought of music, but it was actually about the legend or "key" you find on maps. These clues make puzzles tricky, but when you get the double meaning, you feel like a genius—even if it took you forever to get it! I actually like the feeling after you finally connect the dots. If you're into games, just look out for clues that seem weird because they're probably playing with those double meanings.
