About

The Chinese word "高尔夫" is formed solely through phonetic transliteration of the English word "golf", with each character selected to approximate its sound: "高" (gāo) corresponds to "go", "尔" (ěr) to "l", and "夫" (fū) to "f", resulting in a sequence that mimics the pronunciation of the foreign term.
