: : i heard that the word golf is an acronym for "gentleman only, ladies forbidden".

: : is this true???

: No. I understand the word Golf came to us from the Dutch for their word for club which is "colf."

Actually, there's a great explanation for this at:

Snopes is a great resource in general for checking out what's true and not true that you've heard from someone else.
