英语词汇golf的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

golf. One guess is that the name of this sport, first recorded in 1425, comes from the Dutch word kolf for the club used in the game. This seems to suggest that the sport had its origins in Holland, but the first records of the game are from Scotland, al- though early on the Scots did import their best-quality golf balls from Dutch makers. According to another theory golf may have come from the Scottish goulf, “to strike or cuff.” Games roughly similar to golf were played as far back as Ro- man times, but modern-day golf can be traced to Scotland’s St. Andrews course, which was built in 1552, where, two centuries later, the Thirteen Articles laying down the rules of the sport were established.
