Medial Epicondylitis is usually referred to as "Golfer's Elbow", not because only golfers develop the ailment, but because that activity is a common cause of the problem.
There are many other activities that can result in Golfer's Elbow such as working out at the gym or simply working in front of a computer for prolonged periods. Each of these activities use the same muscles repetitively and can result in the inflammation of muscles, ligaments & tendons.
Two additional strains, Lateral Epicondylitis (more commonly known as Tennis Elbow) and Bursitis, are often mistaken for Medial Epicondylitis.
