“Shakespeare's your thing, not golf, sweetheart (5)”
This clue's indicators are 'not' and 'heart'. One is a deletion indicator telling us that some fodder will be excluded from other fodder. The other is a selection indicator naming the position of an important letter in neighbouring fodder.
This clue's fodder is 'thing', 'golf' and 'sweet'. We'll need to find a common substitute for one of these and use it with the letters of the others (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicators.
Our definition here is 'Shakespeare's your', and our answer will be a word for that.
