When did the word "gaming" come into the golfing lexicon?

'Gaming' is one of those words that just does not sound right to me in relation to golf.

What really annoys me (and it is really petty I know) but one of my playing partners abreviates the name of the sandy hazards on the course to 'bunks'. There really is no need to abbreviate the word in the first place but being told that your ball is in the bunk just seems to rub me up the wrong way (maybe it is because of the position of the ball rather than the word but who knows).
