Etymology
The term 'golfed' originates from the word 'golf,' which is believed to have come from the Dutch word 'kolf' or 'kolf,' meaning 'club.' The modern game of golf as we know it has its roots in 15th century Scotland, where it became a popular pastime among the nobility. The game evolved over the centuries, and by the 18th century, golf clubs and courses were established, further formalizing the sport. The Oxford English Dictionary cites the first recorded use of the word 'golf' in English in the early 16th century. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, golf grew in popularity and became a major competitive sport, leading to professional tournaments and a global following. The verb form 'to golf' began to be used in the 20th century as the sport became more common in American culture.
