According to Leslie Nielson, it was called 'golf' because all the other four-letter words were taken.

It derives from a sign at the first club . I read " Gentlemen Only ,Ladies Forbidden" It was then known as the GOLF club.

The word is too old to be certain but it is thought to come from an old Scottish word meaning hit. It is definitely not an acronym for gentlemen only ladies forbidden.
