A possible source of origin of the word golf can be the Dutch word \u2018kolf,\u2019 which is a kind of stick or club, or it can be the Scottish word \u2018goulf,\u2019 which means to strike or cuff. Although some people believe that the word \u201cgolf\u201d is derived from the phrase \u201cgentlemen only, ladies forbidden.\u201d Nevertheless, golf originated in Scotland from a game played close to the royal capital of Edinburg. The earliest form of golf used to be played by hitting a pebble over dunes around tracks. King James IV of Scotland became the world\u2019s first golfing monarch. In 1764, the first-ever 18-hole course was constructed at St Andrews, which established the standard for the game. The United States Golf Association (USGA) was established in 1894, and by 1900 more than 1,000 golf clubs were formed throughout the U.S. and today there are almost 17,000 courses in the U.S. Currently, the most expensive golf course in the United States by green fees is Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas, Nevada, which currently charges $1,250 per round during peak season.
