Shout about extreme characters flipping switch in game (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

crazy golf

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shout' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'extreme characters flipping switch in game' is the wordplay.
'extreme characters' becomes 'AZ' (letters at the extremes of the alphabet).
'flipping switch' becomes 'cry' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'game' becomes 'golf game' (golf is an example).
'az' inserted inside 'cry' is 'crazy'.
'crazy'+'golf'='CRAZY GOLF'

'about' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for crazy golf that I've seen is " Knocking of dimpled balls through miniature windmills, for instance".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
