    Default I might have to take up Golf

    In Scotland, a new game was invented. It was entitled Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.... and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

    There's no way this can be true.

    Sounded really obscure to me, so I did a little bit of research:

    The medieval Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" meant "club." It is believed that word passed to the Scots, whose old Scots dialect transformed the word into "golve," "gowl" or "gouf."

    Shrug wasn't my fact I just collect them from random sites. Thats the good thing about the internet you never know whats true. It does appear you are right from the other internet things I read this does appear to be false.

    uhhh... yeah, but that still doesn't give us "Golf" so, maybe Jasons FACT is right after all..and they decided to go with Golf, cause they didn't want the wives playing (Who should actually be at home in the kitchen.) So what you've found doesn't mean shit.

    No, cause I'm ignorant..and I guess I'm male minded in that sense.. I only read/see what I want to see.
