It was bound to happen eventually. Someone mapped out Desert Golfing, removing all the holes and stitching it into one long video. They did 10,000 holes, which is more than I needed to know existed.
Warning, spoilers for Desert Golfing in the video!
Patrick Winchell, an iOS game developer, wrote some custom code to find and get rid of all actual holes to make Desert Golfing into one long landscape. He explains how he did it, for those of you who like to play with code:
@waxpancake libimobiledevice to take a screenshot every 2 secs and a bunch of custom code to read hole #s, clean and stich shots together.

@waxpancake 98k screenshots in total. Video is created with by just moving the panorama 80 pixels per frame and compiled with AVFoundation.

Now you can all rest easy knowing that the game really never ends. Just put it down.
