Yes!

"Cooper has on several occasions credited golf with playing a major role in helping him overcome his addiction to alcohol,[109] and has even gone so far as to say that when he took up golf, it was a case of replacing one addiction with another.[110][111] The importance that the game has had in his life is also reflected in the title to his 2007 autobiography, Alice Cooper, Golf Monster.[112] Cooper, who has participated in a number of Pro-Am competitions,[fn 11] plays the game six days a week, off a handicap of two.[85]

Since 1997 he has hosted an annual golf competition, the Alice Cooper Celebrity AM Golf Tournament, all proceeds from which go to his charity, the Solid Rock Foundation.

Cooper has also appeared in commercials for Callaway Golf equipment and was a guest of veteran British player and broadcaster Peter Alliss on A Golfer's Travels.[113] He wrote the foreword to the Gary McCord book Ryder Cup and participated in the second All*Star Cup in Newport, Wales.[114] In an interview with VH1, friend and fellow golfer Pat Boone said that Cooper was "this close" to being a pro."
