History VideoGame / GolfStory

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: All manner of obstacles can be solved with the right club, [[{{DoubleEntendre}} and plenty of balls]].

* DefeatMeansFriendship: After [[{{MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext}} foiling a necromancer's plot to destroy Wellworn Grove]], the Greenkeeper is later seen using their army of trained gophers to help him mow the grass.

* FeatheredFiend: The birds at [[{{MeaningfulName}} Cheekybeak Peak]] are notorious for stealing golf balls.

* FeatheredFiend: The birds at [[{{MeaningfulName}} Cheekybeak Peaks]] are notorious for stealing golf balls.

* GustyGlade: Cheekybeak Peaks, being on a mountaintop, has wind strong enough that the trees sway like blades of grass.

Following a brief flashback of the player character as a small child wanting to make his father proud with his golfing skills, the story cuts to 20 years later, where the protagonist is procrastinating on life. Finally deciding enough is enough, he sets out to achieve his dreams. Along the way he'll run into a Frisbee golf gang, crocodiles, and angry geese.

* InsistentTerminology: It's "Disc Golf" and "Throwing Discs", not "Frisbee" and "frisbees". Don't let Harland and co. hear you [[{{ComicalOverreacting}} call Disc Golf the 'F' word]].

* BadPresent: The tutorial shows that Wellworn Hills used to be a pleasant GhibliHills-esq golf course. However, the passage of time (as well as Lucky's mismanagement) has turned the place into a run-down mess.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Max Yards. Not as bad as most examples, but he presents himself as a very friendly man playing for the love of the game, but in truth he's a prima dona who will belittle others and is really just a corporate shill.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Oak Manor and two characters related to its questline briefly show up in an early part of the game when the player is still in Wellworm Hills.

* PointBuildSystem: Every level-up earns Skill Points, which can be spent to make skills stronger. You can also ''decrease'' your Power if you're hitting too hard.

* DeathMountain: Averted with the Cheekybeak Peaks course, which is more of a calm cliffside park. It just happens to be at an unusually high altitude.

* BizarreAndImprobableGolfGame: Zig-zagged. While you still take a penalty for hitting a ball into the water, things tar pits and moles stealing your ball are treated like ordinary obstacles. Also, in the overworld you can tee off from any outdoor location, which is used to solve various environmental puzzles.

* DemBones: One story mission involves a couple of necromancers trying to raise a skeleton army to attack Wellworn Grove. Naturally you thwart them [[{{WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer}} by lobbing golf balls at them]].

* {{Prehistoria}}: Lurker Valley has shades of this. Features tar pits as hazards, dino skulls and mammoth tusks as set dressing, and the NPCs speak in YouNoTakeCandle.
