CROWDS flocked to Noosa Springs Golf and Spa Resort on Monday morning to catch a glimpse of rock music royalty Alice Cooper as he teed off.
Hosted by Zinc 96.1 FM, the Alice Cooper Celebrity Golf Day was arranged to align with Alice’s upcoming Australian tour with Motley Crue.
Alice teamed with his guitarist Ryan Roxie and manager Shep Gordon to join local businessmen including John Madden, Ben Carreira and Ross Turner in a ‘friendly’ tournament.
Despite the less than promising forecast, the rock legend was ready and raring to hit up the greens in what was an entertaining morning of golf for all in attendance.
Zinc 96.1 program director Ross Turner said he thought the promotion was like no other.
“I think it’s great to align two things that would normally never be – a rock legend that plays super rocking loud music and a game of golf,” Mr Turner said.
“It’s such a great opportunity for our radio station to attract such a high-profile musician to Noosa and allow him to experience the amazing surrounds of the Sunshine Coast,” promotions and marketing manager at Zinc, Jake Cosmai agreed.
Alice, who is known for enjoying a hit of golf, was indeed impressed with Noosa Springs Golf Course.
It was however, perhaps the two visiting pythons from Australia Zoo that stole his attention that morning.
