lis it true that Golf means gentlemen only ladies forbidden?

Yes, that was the original meaning.

I have also heard that to be true or at least a POPULAR URBAN LEGEND! Story goes that, GOLF was the acronym given by the king, back in Scotland where the game, as it's known today, originated!

Apparently, it's just that; an "urban legend"...though quite popular. Anybody that's NEVER heard of that "legend" before, knows NOTHING about golf history!

Lady and gentleman were originally words with class distinctions. As we no longer have those distinctions, we no longer need those words. We are all supposed to be equal. The woman you hire to scrub your floors is not elevated in status when you call her a cleaning lady instead of a cleaning woman. What happens is that the term lady loses is associations with a particular class. The true meaning of "gentleman" in English, was a man of the gentry, or someone with land who got his money through farming, rents and mines.

If the wives were ugly I am sure that is the original definition.

That was the original meeting when the sport was invented.

This is not true. Nor should it be. The ladies are more than welcome in my foursome.

According to the link below, Snopes says it is false.

no, that's just guys being guys and making a funny saying out of it
