The word "Golf" was originally pronouced "Gowf" by the Scotts. The word is derived from the dutch world "kolf" which means club.
Early courses had anywhere from 7 to 22 holes... and was originally thought to be timed with how long a 5th of liquor would last while playing. St. Andrews decided on the standard of 18 and everyone else followed suit.
