Etymology

[edit]

The word is first known in English from the 17th century as a borrowing from Middle Scots golf, gouff. Although the etymology is uncertain, the most likely origin is that it comes from the Middle Dutch colve, colf (club), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *kulbaz (club), related to German Kolben (piston, rod), Swedish kolv (piston, rod), Old English clopp (rock; cliff), English kelp.
