Kolf: The Ancestral Name of Golf
Before the word golf was ever spoken in Scotland, a game called kolf or kolve was already being played across the Netherlands. With roots tracing back to the 13th century, kolf was a refined game involving a ball, a stick, and a target—a contest of skill played on frozen canals, in city streets, and across grassy terrain.
But it wasn’t just the game that evolved. The name itself changed. .
According to historical accounts, during the 15th century, King James II of Scotland grew increasingly concerned about the popularity of kolf among his subjects, particularly because it distracted them from practicing archery. In 1457, he issued an official ban on the sport and referred to it as “golf”, thereby cementing the anglicized term in the Scottish lexicon. From that point on, golf replaced kolf in official language—marking the transition from Dutch origins to a new Scottish identity. .
By choosing Kolf as our name, we honor the original lineage of the game. We do not borrow prestige—we reclaim it. Our name is not a marketing invention. It is a historical restoration. .

Maison: The House of Mastery
In French, maison means “house.” But in the world of luxury, it represents far more—a maison is a sanctuary of artisanship, a house of mastery, a living institution of refined creation. From haute couture to horology, the term denotes heritage, precision, and purpose.
Kolf Maison is such a house. Not a factory. A modern maison d’art, where every bag, glove, and head cover is not manufactured, but composed—one stitch at a time. Each product is numbered, intentional, and imbued with the signature of its maker. .
Our atelier is not defined by output. It is defined by excellence.

Paganica: The Spirit of the Ancients
Long before kolf or golf, there was paganica—an ancient Roman ball game played with a curved stick and a stuffed leather ball. Though the rules have been lost to time, historians widely consider paganica one of the ancestral forms of modern golf.
It is from this ancient spirit that The Paganica Collection draws its name. Not as a novelty—but as an homage to the game’s oldest essence: control, elegance, and discipline. Paganica was played not for spectacle, but for mastery. It was not loud. It was deliberate.
Just like us.

From Paganica to the Present: A Brand Built on Timeless Principles
The name Kolf Maison is more than identity—it is a philosophy:
• Kolf speaks to heritage, to the forgotten roots of the game.
• Maison speaks to quality—crafted, not produced.
• Paganica speaks to purity—the origin of athletic refinement.
Together, they form a house of quiet excellence. A brand not built on trend, but on truth. .
When you carry Kolf Maison, you carry centuries of distinction in your hand. You walk with the past, while playing for your future. You don’t just play the game. You elevate it.
Carry the Extraordinary. Kolf Maison — The Game Itself.
