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.

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 a club to hit it. 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 a one-stroke penalty.

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.
