'What The Golf' Trophy Guide
"What The Golf" is a physics-based golf game with a range of challenges that may or may not resemble actual golf. The game has 11 areas, starting at area 10 and counting down. The player only needs to complete the first task in each level to progress, but it is recommended to complete all three parts of each level to collect crowns and make the game easier.
Step 1: Complete the game
Play through the main campaign and enjoy the wacky nature of the game. While progressing through the game, collect terminals, boxes, and chests. Terminals are required for a trophy, and boxes/chests award an in-game item and a trophy. Most boxes are earned by getting all crowns in a subarea.
Step 2: Daily Challenges
Complete 18 daily challenges, ensuring you do at least one from every day of the week. This can be done legitimately over 18 days or by changing the date on your console to complete them in one go.
Step 3: DLC and Clean Up
Get any missing items from the base game and tackle the free DLC, which adds new episodes to the game. For the first episode, get all crowns and a miscellaneous trophy. For the remaining episodes, simply complete them.
Step 4: Collect all trophies
After collecting every trophy, the "Platinum" Platinum Trophy will unlock.
Some other trophies to look out for during your playthrough include:
- "Welcome to the golf lab!": Unlocked upon arriving at the "Golf Lab" for the first time.
- "HOLE" trophy: Awarded after completing the first hole of your campaign.
- 2D Golf Trophy: Get a crown on every flag on the left side of Level 09 in the Golf Lab during the Main Campaign, then open the chest in that area.
- Livingroom-Golf Trophy: Get a crown on every flag on the right side of Level 09 in the Golf Lab during the Main Campaign, then open the chest in that area.
Additionally, there are trophies for golfing a certain number of hours (5 hours and 10 hours), but these will likely be obtained naturally while playing the game.

Daily Challenges
Each day of the week has a different theme for the daily challenge, but nothing will be too different from what you've experienced before. You can complete one challenge per day for 18 days, or change the date on your console to complete them all in one go.
Completing 9 daily challenges is one of the achievements in the game, and you can speed this up by changing your system date. You can also complete 18 daily challenges for another achievement, which is relatively simple. You can also complete a single daily challenge for an achievement.
The leaderboard for the fewest strokes is not important for any trophy, so feel free to use as many strokes as you need to complete the challenges.

Golf Lab
To unlock the "Three is a Crowd" trophy in the Golf Lab, you need to complete all three goals on each of the four holes in the 9-A section (the left set of holes in the first area). Once completed, you can press the button leading to a box. Hitting the box will unlock an in-game collectible and the "Three is a Crowd" trophy.
The "For General Everyday Use" trophy can be unlocked in a similar fashion. Complete all three goals on each of the six holes in the 9-B section (the right set of holes in the first area). After completing all the goals, press the button to reveal a box. Hitting the box will unlock the "For General Everyday Use" trophy and an in-game collectible.
Another trophy that can be obtained in the Golf Lab is "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!". To unlock this trophy, complete all three goals on each of the nine holes in the 8-D section (the top-right set of holes in the second area). Once completed, press the button to reveal a box, and hit the box to unlock the "BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" trophy.
It is important to note that some players have reported issues with achieving 100% completion in the game, getting stuck at 99% despite completing all levels and collecting all trophies. This issue might be due to a bug or a missing achievement.

Golf Boss
To defeat the Golf Boss in What The Golf, you must complete the final level of the Golf Lab via the Main Campaign. This will unlock the "Final Hole" trophy. Each level in the Golf Lab can be completed three times under three different conditions, and completing all three versions of a flag will earn you a crown for that level.
To progress through the Golf Lab, you must defeat computer bosses by completing their golf puzzles. Defeating these computer bosses will grant you trophies, such as the Computer09 trophy for beating Computer09. You can access a collectible room through a red portal near each Computer Boss, where you can view your rewards and access portals to other levels of the Golf Lab.
After defeating Computer01, you will encounter the seventh boss. To unlock this boss, complete all 17 initial goals in Area 1 and press the four buttons around the area. To defeat this boss, repeatedly hit the heart. There is no penalty for failure, so you can try as many times as needed.
After progressing through the game, you will eventually reach the final boss. This boss encounter starts like a standard level, where you must hit various objects towards the boss.

Golf for 5 hours
'What The Golf?' is a physics-based golf game that features a range of challenges that may or may not resemble a traditional game of golf. The game has 11 areas, starting at area 10 and counting down.
To achieve the 'Golf for 5 hours' milestone, you will need to spend 5 hours playing the game. This can be achieved through a combination of playing the story, challenges, and DLC. If you play through the story at a moderate pace, you will likely achieve this milestone without having to idle or replay levels.
One player reported completing the story in under 7 hours, achieving 100% completion, and earning the 'Golf for 5 hours' milestone in the process. They also noted that they left the game unpaused while writing their guide, which may have contributed to their slightly longer completion time.
Another player reported that they needed to idle their game in the hub world, known as the "Golf Lab," for a couple of hours after completing everything to reach the 5-hour mark.
Therefore, it is likely that you will achieve the 'Golf for 5 hours' milestone by simply playing through the story and enjoying the game at your own pace. If you find yourself just short of the 5-hour mark, you can always leave your game idling in the hub world for a short while to reach the required playtime.
