To sign 'golf,' pretend you are holding a golf club. Form both hands into 'A' or 'S' handshapes and stack them together in front of your lower body, as if gripping the handle of a club. Then, make a short, controlled swinging motion diagonally upward, mimicking the action of swinging a golf club to hit a ball.
Sign 'I', 'like', 'play', and then 'golf' by mimicking the swinging of a golf club with your hands stacked. Finish with the sign for 'weekend'.
Start with 'you', 'watch', and then sign 'golf' using the stacked grip and swinging motion. End with 'tournament' and raise your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question.
Sign 'my', 'dad', 'good', and then perform the 'golf' sign with a clear, controlled swing to complete the thought.

No, the movement should be gentle and contained within your normal signing space. A small, controlled swing of the hands and forearms is perfect.
Usually, your non-dominant hand goes on top and your dominant hand goes on the bottom, mimicking a natural golf grip, but it is generally acceptable either way as long as the hands are stacked.
They are similar because both involve a swinging motion with stacked hands. However, 'baseball' is signed higher up near the shoulder, while 'golf' is signed lower down, mimicking the downward swing at a golf ball on the ground.
