"Who invented golf? Though golf is mentioned in Scottish statutes as
early as 1457 and The Old Course at St. Andrews is considered to
be the birthplace of golf, this traditional belief is open to some debate.
The etymology of the word "golf" has been traced to the Dutch word
"kolf," an icy activity played with clubs and balls that would have
pre-dated The Old Course."
