Summary: Golf is a very old game of which the exact origins are unclear. The word Golf was first mentioned in writing in 1457 as gouf, possibly derived from the Scots word goulf. Another claim is that the word golf originated as an acronym for "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden", but this has yet to be substantiated. The origin of golf is open to debate as to being Chinese, Dutch or Scottish. However, the most accepted golf history theory is that this sport originated from Scotland in the 1100s. It has grown in popularity and there are now over 32,000 golf courses in the world with half of those in the United States.
