Mike Taramykin Interview: How Alice Cooper & Guy Fieri Ended Up Playing Ultimate Golf!
Mobile golfing game Ultimate Golf! aims to set itself apart from other mobile sports games through unique gameplay and celebrity tournaments, in the past featuring stars like Alice Cooper and Guy Fieri. Ultimate Golf! shakes up the typical sports game formula in an effort to make a free-to-play mobile game that could potentially become more successful than some console titles. The mobile gaming industry is booming right now, and with so much competition it can be difficult to entice new users — and even harder to get them to stay.

Ultimate Golf! presents a new asynchronous take on the genre, where players can play rounds of golf on their own time without having to wait for their competitors and then view the results at the end. Besides presenting a more fluid golfing experience, Ultimate Golf! has attracted a myriad of celebrities to play in special charity tournaments, giving players the chance to directly compete with celebrities like Rob Riggle, John O'Hurley, and Patrick Warburton
