GOLF -
Gentlemen Only - Ladies Forbidden

2003 Help. Is this true or not??
We just listened to a commedian
in Las Vegas who told this story, saying that it was true, and then basing a few
jokes on this "truth":
Golf was invented in Scotland. The name "GOLF" came from
a sign over the first golf "club house" in Scotland that stated, "Gentlemen Only
- Ladies Forbidden." Could this be the true origin of the word "GOLF"?
Just
curious....
All the best....
