Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock 'n' Roller's 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict
Alice Cooper, Golf Monster is Cooper’s tell-all memoir; in it he talks candidly about his entire life and career, as well as his struggles with alcohol, how he fell in love with the game of golf, how he dried out at a sanitarium back in the late ’70s, and how he put the last nails in his addiction’s coffin by getting up daily at 7 a.m. to play 36 holes.
Alice has hilarious, touching, and sometimes surprising stories about so many of his friends: Led Zeppelin and the Doors, George Burns and Groucho Marx, golf legends like John Daly and Tiger Woods . . . everyone is here from Dal? to Elvis to Arnold Palmer.
This is the story of Cooper’s life, and also a story about golf. He rose from hacker to scratch golfer to serious Pro Am competitor and on to his status today as one of the best celebrity golfers around—all while rising through the rock ’n’ roll ranks releasing platinum albums and selling out arenas with his legendary act.

Great stories!
Much better than "Me, Alice" and more truthful. And yet I think he still is holding back a bit. Very good read.

Grand Finale
I have to admit that I have had a soft spot for Alice since my early teen years when the band was in their heyday. I still remember the lyrics to their songs to this day. However, I became a Christian in my later teens and had my own little...

What a nice surprise!
I admit that I picked this book up because of nostalgia. In a rural community back in the early '70's, I was considered somewhat freakish because I was such a fan of this new shock-rocker, Alice Cooper. Now, as a 52-year-old, I thought it might...
