Alice Cooper: Golf, and not golf

Alice Cooper's well-documented love of golf causes some sort of problem. How does what is perhaps the world's dullest activity fit with the carefully marketed stage image of Alice Cooper?

He's got a workaround:

He told BANG Showbiz: "Alice hates golf. Alice the character hates golf. I love golf but he hates it. That's why I'll never do a golf DVD - nobody wants to see me play golf, they want to see Alice play golf, but he hates it."

This sounds a bit like a child trying to blame their imaginary friend for doing something wrong. Except it's the imaginary friend who is in the right.
