hit the links

To go golfing.

Links = golf course. “Links” originally only meant dune-like strips of land, too sandy to grow anything valuable but covered in grass, which exist where the sea has receded from an area in recent times (geologically) – they *link* the sea with more fertile land. Ideal to play golf.
I say get it done by 4, so you can hit the links.

hitting the links

A links is the oldest style of golf course, first developed in Scotland. The word "links" comes via the Scots language from the Old English word hlinc : "rising ground, ridge" and refers to an area of coastal sand dunes and sometimes to open parkland.

Colloquially, ‘hitting the links’ would simply be a slang way of saying ‘hitting the golfcourse’ or ‘playing a round of golf’.
Me: Yo Bro Namath, when are we hitting the links again?

Friend: You tell me Brobi-wan-Kenobi. I can get us a tee time for tomorrow if you really want to play.
