Morphology
The meaning 'an instructional session about golf' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'golf' (the sport) with 'lesson' (an instructional session); the noun-noun composition simply specifies the subject of the lesson. This is a common, cross-linguistic compounding pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Golf lesson comes from the simple image of a teacher on the golf course showing a player how to stand, swing the club and hit the ball; golf is the sport and lesson is a time to learn. So, it means 'an instructional session to learn or improve at golf'.
