Etymology
جولف is a direct transliteration of the English word golf, adopted into Arabic as the sport spread through Gulf states and expatriate communities in the twentieth century. The English word itself traces back to Scots gowf, meaning to strike or cuff, though its deeper origin is unclear. Arabic borrowed the term whole rather than translating it, since no native word captured the sport.
