Golfing Words

is the word of golf for women, men initially banned or just a myth?

someone told me that golf was the word for the men who prohibited women and let me know if this is true or a myth

is a myth. The field of the written word was mentioned in 1457 in a Scottish law banned games such as FSI, [1] can be derived from the Scottish word goulf (number spelled) meaning "to strike or cuff". This word, in turn, is derived from the Dutch word kolf means "bat" or "club" and Dutch sport of the same name. It is often said that the word was originally an acronym for "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden ", but this is strictly a false etymology. [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf # Etymology
