The original news just says that a couple of paintings shows what look like "golf", but doesn't say it invented golf (some museum curator claimed it, but it's not a fact or a historical verifiable thing). But for whatever reason, it got all riled up and brought into the mummies found in China for whatever reason. Note, the original news, even the curator did not say that the golf came from China to the Europeans.
That was a joke, son.
Ah say, a joke.
