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.

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.

The Golfer is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

Tips

 * Due to the Underground Desert becoming much more dangerous in Hardmode, it is recommended to find the Golfer before entering Hardmode.
 * The Golfer can be found using the Hunter Potion.
 * The Golfer can be a lot harder to rescue in expert and master mode, so if you hear his hurt sound or see the damage indicator, try to reach his position as fast as possible. One way make finding the golfer easier though is to illuminate every small pocket of the desert so finding and retrieval is easier.

 * The Golfer was first shown off in the town night spoiler released by Re-Logic’s YouTube channel on October 1st, 2018.
 * The quote "I'm not the type to scream and thrash around just because my ball lands in the water. I stay calm, and collected, and focus on the next shot." could be a reference to the fact that many golfers have suffered a brief bout of anger due to a misplaced shot.
 * The quote "I don't know what's scarier, a Blood Moon, or my sister during a Blood Moon!" suggests that the Zoologist may be the Golfer's sister, because she transforms into a Werefox during a Blood Moon.
 * This is further supported by a quote from the Zoologist, "Of course I like ! I like, knew them since I was born!".
 * It is even further supported by the fact that they have the same eye color, same skin color, and ( before the Zoologist's hair turned orange after taking a cursed fox bite to the knee ) even the same hair color.
 * The Zoologist’s quote "Wow, like, I've never seen a full moon. For some reason, it's like I pass out every time one's around!" also supports this in that she may not know she becomes a Werefox, and terrorizes the other NPCs.
