A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Golf Golf have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Doom changed game design and distribution in 1993 by separating its engine from content and spreading widely through shareware. A second detail makes the picture even better: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. So a round of Golf Golf is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer action games timeline.
