The name of the maritime flags for G and S match up with Sail and Golf. Anyone can learn to sail or play golf, but these sports are associated with the wealthy. Two of the most elite social clubs of modern society are the Country Club and Yacht Club.
Most Country Clubs are connected to Golf Courses, while most Yacht Clubs have a private armada of sailing ships. Of course you don't have to sail or play golf to belong to either of these organizations.
Sail is no longer used as the call-name for the S-Flag. Instead Sierra have become its preferred name.
