Desert Golfing is a game that takes place in an endless side-scrolling desert, where the player can shoot a golf ball using a one finger swipe to determine direction and power. The entirety of the "golf course" is made of sand, making the physics of the golf ball more difficult to predict and control, as if from a bunker. After reaching a hole, the game automatically generates a completely random new course, making the game go on forever, and the score is purely dependent on how long you play the game.

Desert golf! It's an actual event! From the top of Socorro Peak it's 3 miles and 2500 vertical feet to the hole. It's the Elfego Baca Golf Shootout in New Mexico.
