Morphology
The meaning 'a person who plays the sport of golf' is directly and compositionally derived from 'golf' (the sport) + 'player' (one who plays), following a common noun+noun agent formation. This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern that a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand.
Etymology
Golf player comes from the sport name golf and the word player, which creates the picture of someone on the course hitting a ball with a club. That's why it means 'a person who plays the sport of golf'.
