Golfer

The Golfer is an NPC vendor that sells golfing-related items.

He is found and spoken to in the Underground Desert. He will move in when:


 * There is an empty house.
 * The player has interacted with him.

His preferred biome is the Forest and he prefers having the Angler and the Zoologist as a neighbor.

The Golfer will attack nearby enemies with golf balls to defend himself.

More items will unlock as the player golfs more, including clubs, chests, and trophies.


 * In multiplayer, these unlocks are per player, so everyone must golf in order to purchase his full inventory.

Names
The Golfer may have any of the following names:

Quotes

 * "If you land on the green, use a putter! Don't let your balls go flying away when you're THAT close."
 * "You're going to need a lot of practice, I strongly recommend padding."
 * "If sand is causing you nightmares, your wedge is your dreamcatcher."
 * "Don't go chasing water hazards, please stick to the fairways and greens that you're used to."
 * "If you keep swinging like that, you'll end up hurting someone... or yourself!"
 * "I'm not the type to scream and thrash around just because my ball lands in the water. I stay calm, and collected, and focused on the next shot."
 * "Lick your finger and hold it to the wind. Golf balls are lightweight and easily influenced by a breeze."

 * "Huh? You eat WHAT for breakfast?"
 * "That poor bird. Duck is tasty, however, so don't give up!"
 * "Landscapers must make a lot of green off us golfers. Heh!"
 * "To strike high, strike far, or to get unstuck? It's all about the club you use. Choose wisely!"
 * "When I offer you to go clubbing, I don't mean downtown. I mean like, with a five iron?"
 * "In this game, only losers go for that high score."

When Angler is present:
