R and A = Scottish golf club (Royal and Ancient)

barb - slight + yap in are(a)

Team's - take out the 'opener' (the letter 'T') and bat it around to get an anagram meaning unchanged

5d Best mate minus B(elgium) containing 5th letter of (morn)I(ng)

[catsrcool]

Thanks all

[CJHorse]

5dn

First colleague could be 'best mate'

Leaves Belgium - take off the B for Belgium

Around 5 in morning - 'I' is the fifth letter in morning, so put (b)est mate round it
