Golf

Golf is a mini-game where Players hit Golf Balls into Golf Cups using Golf Clubs. Golf supplies can be purchased from the Golfer NPC. Golf courses are not naturally occurring and must be built. Due to the large size of golf courses and the optional nature of golf, it's likely that many players will experience golf in the form of golf course maps.

Golf Score
Separate from the the regular golf scoring system of stroke count, golf score is a statistic used to track a character's overall experience with playing golf. Golf score is calculated based on the number of strokes used and the total of the Euclidean distances of each shot. That is, by drawing a straight line between each location a shot is taken and where the ball subsequently lands, the total distance will be the total length of all those lines. The calculated score is then rounded down before being added to the character's accumulated score. The exact score before rounding is calculated using the following formula:

A player can accumulate a maximum total score of 1,000,000,000. The Golfer's shop inventory will expand as the player increases their total score.

Tips

 * You can use the same level location for an Old One's Army arena and driving range. Putting a tee at one end and a cup at the other can give you plenty of points using the driver.
 * On a large world you can also setup a tee at the top of your Hellevator and putt down into the Underworld.
 * Since the camera follows the golf ball once shot, it can be easy to use golf to search your world for Floating Islands. Simply put down a Golf Tee and use a Worn Golf Club (Wedge) to launch the golf ball upwards. This has the added benefit of being faster and cheaper than most other early game methods as the golf ball travels fast without any additional purchases needed for each shot.

Setting Up
First of all, you need to get the items to build your course. You shall need the basic complements, Such as a Golf Ball of any color, any Golf Club, a Golf Cup and a Golf Tee to place the ball.

Playing
To play golf, either place a golf tee and then put a ball on it, or just drop the ball on the ground. Then, use one of the four types of clubs to hit it, those being the Driver, the Iron, the Wedge, and the Putter. The goal is to get the ball into the hole in as little hits or "strokes" as possible. Using the golf whistle will return the ball to its previous position at with one-stroke penalty.
