Elf, also known as The Golf Elf and originally known as the Golf Guru, is the owner of Elf's Short Course in the Game Boy Color version of Mario Golf and Mario Golf: Advance Tour. He is an elderly man with a white beard who, in Mario Golf: Advance Tour, wears a purple shirt, orange pants, and brown boots. He also seems to have the ability to teleport.
In Mario Golf, the Golf Guru is waiting for the player when they arrive at Golf Guru's Pitch and Putt, challenging them to complete his "short course". Upon completion, he congratulates the player, proclaiming that "Today's golfers give it their all!"
In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, he is now known as Elf, with his course being renamed to Elf's Short Course. When Neil or Ella arrives at his course, Elf suddenly appears in front of them, much to their shock. Calling the player a "little imp", Elf confuses them for a golfer who had previously beat his course (a reference to the player character in Mario Golf). Upon realizing they are someone else, he tells them that he has made his course even more difficult than before, and dares them to complete it. Once the player succeeds at his challenge, an impressed Elf rewards them with a Hyper Drink and opens up all 18 holes of his course for all game modes. He makes an additional appearance in the credits, but instead wears a green shirt.
