WHAT THE GOLF?

About WHAT THE GOLF?

WHAT THE GOLF? is by Triband and came out on Steam in October 2020 for Windows, Mac and Linux. It is a comedy game of puzzles and surprises made, in its own words, for people who hate golf by people with no respect for the game. Hundreds of levels with names like Sporty Sports! and A Hole New World send toasters, hot dogs, office chairs and much more flying.

Most levels begin with a familiar idea (hit the thing into the hole) and then twist it: the ball might become something else, the hole might move, or the level might turn into a parody of another game. Working out what each level wants is half the fun.

In 2022 the DAYlicious update added daily courses. Each day brings new courses to play, some tied to the day of the week, such as Traffic Tuesday, Horse Thursday or Movies Saturday, and you can come back daily to win small prizes. Reviews describe the daily challenge as a series of courses to finish in as few putts as possible, with scores on a worldwide leaderboard, and achievements reward playing the daily on many different days.

There is also a level editor and screen sharing through Steam Remote Play Together. It suits anyone who wants a quick laugh each day, golf fan or not.

How to play WHAT THE GOLF?

1. Buy and install WHAT THE GOLF? on Steam.
2. Open the daily courses from the menu.
3. Work out what each silly level wants, then aim and shoot to reach the goal.
4. Finish in as few shots as you can and check the leaderboard.
