Wales' favourite son Jack Rivers has returned to GOLFPUNK Towers to live the dream. To welcome back one of our finest workies we told him to get the brews on and do our work for us. Jack 'Rapid Rise' Rivers. Today it's the teas, tomorrow the bins.Look out for his Swing Hell... in the next issue of GP out soon. In the meantime he's banging on about a man who wears make up and likes golf. The name Vincent Damon Furnier probably doesn’t probably doesn’t mean that much to the average golfer. Would you believe me if I told you that he is in fact up there with the Parneviks and Poulters as one of golf’s most colourful and interesting characters? Probably not, but then you probably didn’t know that in 1974, Vincent Damon Furnier changed his name to Alice Cooper. As golfers, we should count our lucky stars to have players like Alice Cooper, Jodie Kidd and Bill Murray, all of whom show a genuine enthusiasm for playing the game and pushing it forward. We could have to deal with unfair infestation of z-list nobodies like poker has to. Though Alice Cooper will be best remembered for his music and on-stage antics, the most intriguing aspect of his career is the story of how at a time when many people would have turned to the big man upstairs for salvation, Cooper chose golf. He made the right choice, and has secured a place in many a golf punk’s heart as a result. If you find yourself looking for something a bit different to read in the upcoming months, let me point you in the direction of Cooper’s new offering: Golf Monster: My 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict.
