The statement 'William Blake, Lord Byron and Robert Browning were famous golfers' is:

These names are celebrated for literature, not sport. William Blake, Lord Byron and Robert Browning are renowned poets (Blake was also a visual artist), and they are not known for golf. Golf as a sport exists, but there’s no historical record linking these figures to golfing fame. So the statement is not true. There’s enough evidence about their main contributions to say they were famous poets, not golfers. If the claim were that they were famous poets, that would be true.
