[edit] Some extra information

The OED claims that it is probably a contraction of "before". To me, this carries a certain amount of weight. Some of the offered explanations (in particular the rather obvious backronyms) seem strange.

It'd be good if anyone had a decent reference beyond OED, isn't this part of golf lore somehow?

The about article seeems okay, just going by that would allow us to trim a bit and focus on before as origin and how it came from there.
