Welcome to Golf, a creation of the devious setter known only as "im_so_twisted". Not much is known about how they got here, but legend has it they originate from a parallel universe, one where popular youtube channels cover U-Bahn puzzles every day, and the website Logic Whackers Lithuania is bombarded with beginner's first U-Bahn puzzles, often made with the help of deaf-puzzles.com and Plankststk Solver. The multiverse traveler visited me for "interdimensional continuity" reasons, and left me with this, claiming it was more suitable for our world than their own.
Rules: Place a digit from 1-9 in each cell such that digits do not repeat in any row, column, or 3x3 box, as well as in any pair of cells a knight's move apart, or any set of cells in the same relative position within their box. A digit on a golf ball must appear in one of the four cells that golf ball touches. Adjacent digits on lines must differ by 5 or more. Colors are purely cosmetic.
As to be expected of a deranged mad scientist, there are many challenging steps in this one. Thankfully, and I clarify this because it is April Fools' Day - the puzzle does solve cleanly. I documented my path through it here, so feel free to explore at your own pace.
Solution code: row 3

Tough! With this twist you've recreated what it felt like to solve antiknight in 2021 or so. I enjoyed it :)
