Comedy

+1
A physics-based parody of the sport, this one gleefully abandons any pretense of golfing as you know it. What the Golf? delights in unexpected scenarios, swapping clubs for everything from horses to houses, each with unique control schemes and challenges. The game's appeal lies in its constant stream of absurd and inventive levels, as well as the immediate, satisfying feel of its physics engine which keeps players hooked on its bite-sized courses.

About What the Golf?

Details
The golf game for people who hate golf! A silly physics-based anti-golf game where you get to golf anything. Every golf course is a new surprising type of golf, some brilliant or hilarious, others so absurd they will make you go: WHAT THE GOLF? Golf is always the same: perfectly round balls, 18 holes, blue sky, neatly cut grass and fancy people in nice clothes. What's not to hate? – Hate no more!
