The word golf originates from the Scottish statute on forbidden games as gouf. It was mentioned the first time in writing in 1947, and possibly from the scots word goulf, meaning "to strike or cuff". This word may, in turn originates from the Dutch word kolf, with the translation "bat" or "club" and the Dutch sport of the same name. But you can also find an even earlier reference to the game of Golf and it is believed when King James II in 1452 banned the game because it kept his subjects from their archery practice.
