Alice has a new album out called Dirty Diamonds which is very old school sounding. The guy is a great golfer and still the king of rock.

| "Coop." |

About 15-16 years ago, I had the absolute pleasure to play a round with "Coop."
We played at Ancala C.C., Scottdale, AZ. Teed off around 8:30. The pro shop let us off and held other tee times until 9:00...so we wouldn't have anyone too close behind us.
First off, I am a musician and got the invite to play because one of my Wife's friends routinely played with Coop and when he found out I played the game, thought I would like to meet Alice. I was delighted! First off I have to say he shot a 76 on a very hard course! He was so laid back and a blast to be around. He at the time was all excited because he was being considered for a role as a Klingon in an upcoming Star Trek Movie...He told me he was "Born to be a Klingon!"
After we teed off on the first, we all got out into the fairway and found our balls, he jumps out of his cart and yells, "Grab your long irons boys, were going into the salad (What he called the desert or OB) and rootin and snootin for balls!" When I asked why the long irons, he replied, "Snakes! Oh, and by the way, if you see one, let me know...I'm auditioning for the show!"
Coop loves to look for and find lost golf balls! At the end of the day, he proudly showed us his shoe-box of his ball-bounty! He said, "Look! Got at least a dozen or so!"
I had much fun, he was/is such a class guy and I even got his autograph! (I also found out I knew his drummer, Ken Merry, so we could start our "Golf relationship" on some common ground)
He's cool. And a very fine golfer!
Peace,
Michael Barton

Michael,
I read your story with interest about your game with Coops. I'm actually an avid golfer from Melbourne Australia and am a member at two of the best courses in the country. Alice is actually coming "down under" in late June 2005 and after reading all his stories about golf I thought he might say yes to a game on our prefectly manicured fairways in Aus ! We even have the odd snake in the rough !!
Do you know how I would get in tough with Mr Cooper ?
Regards,
Thomas Condell
