Where does the word 'golf' comes from.
The article does not discuss at all the etymology of the word 'golf', which is odd because it doesn't seem obvious that it has anything to do with the usual meaning of the word golf. In fact, I would maintain that it is clear that the word 'golf' is a bastardisation of the word 'kolf' in Dutch, which means beaker or hollow cup. This makes sense w.r.t. the shape of the golf club which has the form of a cup attached to a pole. Hence, this seems to underpin the real origin of golf: not at all invented in Scotland, but brought to the British isles by Scottish merchants from Holland (who in turn may have originally got the game from China). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franknij (talk • contribs) 12:27, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
