Golfer
The Golfer (ゴルファー?, Gorufā) is a character in Hole in One who is taking golf lessons from Monkey and Mandrill.
Hole in One 2 introduces a lady as another promising young golf hotshot who also takes lessons from Monkey and Mandrill.
The Golfer is a young man wearing a red golfer's hat and vest with a pink bowtie, white shirt, brown pants with red leggings and dark brown shoes. In Remix 1, he sports a top hat and black and white clothes. In Lush Remix he wears an explorer's outfit.
The lady golfer appears as a young girl with brown, short hair and a ponytail, a pink T-shirt with a black bow tie, a black skirt, pink socks, black and white shoes and a pink golf hat. In Remix 9 her pink clothes turn red.
Story
The Golfer was practicing all the time, but couldn't improve his golf game. No matter what, he couldn't even dream of getting a hole in one. A friend recommended that he see a golf coach he knew, and he went to their meeting place, expecting a middle-aged guy in ugly pants. Instead, he met Monkey and Mandrill. He thought about asking for their qualifications, but before he knew it, he was showing them his swing. He was taught that timing is everything, and was instructed to aim for the whale by the island in the background. Soon enough, he started hitting the hole, improving his score. That was the day his REAL golfing education began, as he was aiming for the gold cup. As an avid player, he stuffed and mounted a golf ball to celebrate getting a hole in one[1].
The lady golfer trains with Monkey and Mandrill in the clouds, near Rhythm Heaven itself (in Rhythm Heaven Fever)/some giant worm-like creatures (in Rhythm Heaven Megamix). She wears a sun visor to protect her eyes[2] and skin from the sun. She ordered it in a cute pink color, and it was also released as a special model for the general public. It turned out to be popular with men, much to her confusion[3].

Trivia
- Golfer is left-handed because the developers thought it would be easier to follow the golf ball when it's served from left to right[4].
