Why is it masculine?
Golfe is masculine because it derives from Latin "golfus," which itself comes from Greek "kolpos" (κόλπος), meaning bay or gulf—a word that was masculine in Latin and retained that gender when borrowed into French and other Romance languages. Gender assignment in Romance languages often follows the gender of the Latin source word, so "golfe" inherited the masculine gender from its classical roots.
