Etymology of COLF

The word "colf" is derived from the Old Dutch term "kolven", which means "to strike", "to hit", or "to play a game with a stick". It is believed that colf originated in the Low Countries (modern-day Netherlands and Belgium) during the Middle Ages. The game involved striking a small wooden ball (similar to a modern golf ball) with a wooden club towards a target, often a distant church door or a specific landmark in a town. Over time, this game evolved into various forms of golf played around the world today.
