No.
You can CNAME test.domainname.com to www.golf.com, and have the webserver
located at www.golf.com redirect your HTTP request to <root_dir>/help
A CNAME, by definition, has to point to an object that has a
corresponding A record, and "www.golf.com/help/" is an illegal hostname,
thus cannot have an A record.
