Golfkid, (or simply golf for short), is an active highscorer and very occasional mapper, although he only plays N++ and N 2.0 these days. He first played N 1.4 in 2006 and began highscoring in 2007. As of 4 November 2013, he has 598 of them, ranked 2nd and one of the all-time highest amounts ever reached. He has also owned 0ths for over ten years, peaking at 20 0ths in November 2010 and currently sitting at 2 0ths as of April 2020, including a tied 0th on 05-2 and an outright 0th on 53-0. Golfkid has also reached 71000 seconds of Total Level Score, becoming the 6th highscorer ever to do so.
On 24 March 2008, golfkid took his first ever Metanet 0th on 63-3, and he kept highscoring and increasing his 0th count until peaking at 20 0ths on 8 November 2010. He maintained a similar amount of 0ths until around 2014, at which point new-wave highscorers like EddyMataGallos took many of them.
On 14 December 2008, golfkid reached 100 top-20 scores. Less than a year later, on 9 November 2009, he had already reached 300 top-20 scores, which is half of all possible top-20 scores.
On 2 December 2011, golfkid resumed his highscoring activity and was quickly increasing his top-20 score count and his Total Level Score, and he soon reached 400 top-20 scores.
On 30 December 2011, golfkid became the 11th player to ever achieve 70000 seconds of Total Level Score.
On 3 April 2012, golfkid reached the milestone of 500 top-20 scores.
On 29 September 2012, after highscoring fairly consistently during the year, golfkid became the 6th highscorer ever to reach 71000 seconds of Total Level Score, and he also reached all 100 episode top-20 scores. Thanks to this, he also peaked at 598 top-20 scores, standing 1st on the rankings at the time; and, by 27 February 2013, was actually tied for 0th position when EddyMataGallos temporarily lost his 90-3 top-20 score, tied up with 598 top-20 scores apiece.
Golfkid is a prominent figure within the highscoring community, contributing to innovations, highscoring information, and highscore runs, as well as broadcasting the first known live stream of a highscoring attempt, which was conducted on Twitch.
