About this book

Book Summary

The man who invented shock rock tells the amazing and, yeah, shocking story of how he slayed his thirsty demons—with a golf club. It started one day when Cooper was watching a Star Trek rerun between concerts, bored and drunk on a quart-of-whiskey-a-day habit; a friend dragged the rocker out of his room and suggested a round of golf. Cooper has been a self-confessed golf addict ever since. Today he and his band still tour the world, playing some one hundred gigs a year . . . and three hundred days out of that year, Cooper is on the course.

Golf Monster
This is a very good book that can actually put you into the mind of a rocker. It makes you feel sympathetic and admiring of Alice after all he's been through. If you don't like the book, you have no heart! Rock on, Alice!
