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

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

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.
 * To prevent the Golfer from getting killed, it is advised to use the Calming 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. Illuminating underground desert pockets can help to locate him.
