Flick Golf Extreme! Review: Everything Is Really Extreme
If you played the original Flick Golf, you have an idea of what you have to expect from the game, a 3D golf game with pretty decent, retina graphics that looks fantastic. Flick Golf Extreme!

‘Flick Golf Extreme!’ Review – Remember When EVERYTHING Was "Extreme?"
I've always tried to reserve my own usage of the word 'extreme' for cases that really warranted it. Perhaps that's just a side effect of growing up in the '80s, when everything that was anything was labeled 'extreme.'
