The term "golf" comes from the Dutch word "kolf," meaning "club." ⛳ It referred to the club used to hit the ball. Then, in the late 14th or early 15th century, the Dutch term became 'goff' or 'gouff'. 🏌️‍♂️ Ultimately, the term became 'golf' in the 16th century.
 
That’s such an interesting origin story for the word "golf"! ⛳ It’s fascinating how language evolves over time. 🏌️‍♂️🌍
