Alien disguised as a human who can turn things into Gold
I remember listening to an audiobook where an alien came to Earth on a talking spaceship, I guess to escape? He changed his features to look human and survived by changing objects into gold. Possibly, he got a girl pregnant.
To prepare for an alien invasion needed funds, he entered into a golf tournament with his human girlfriend as his caddy. He set up a factory off somewhere to make spaceships to prepare for an alien invasion. If this rings a bell with anybody, I would be grateful.
Apparently the alien learned to play golf by watching TV and also just copying the movements of pros. He was a quick study. From what I remember he didn't want to sell too much gold in case people got suspicious as to where he was getting all his gold. He also was investing in stocks; he was rich but needed even more money and the golf thing was supposed to be cover for how he got so rich. The spaceship he flew on to get to Earth left to distract his pursuers. I forget if he was preparing defense of the Earth against his own kind or a separate alien civilization his kind was at war with.

Where did the alien learn to play golf? Why couldn't he raise enough money by turning things into gold? Was his spaceship factory on earth? How were the alien invaders going to get to earth without spaceships? Were the made-on-earth spaceships going to fly themselves to the alien planet?

Were the alien invaders planning a military invasion of earth, with guns and bombs and gas and rays? Or were they planning to buy the place with their artificial gold and prize money from winning golf tournaments etc.?
