SLIPKNOT's CHRIS FEHN To Play Golf For Charity

June 11, 2006

Sean Keeler of The Des Moines Register is reporting that SLIPKNOT percussionist Chris Fehn will be one of more than two dozen celebrities hacking for charity in the Regency MDA Golf Classic today (June 11) at Glen Oaks Country Club in West Des Moines, Iowa.

"It's just the greatest sport I've ever played, really," the 34-year-old Fehn told The Des Moines Register. "It's a good way to pass the time because with SLIPKNOT, it's 23 hours of boredom and one hour of (lunacy). I can shoot a 90, I can shoot a 67. It kind of depends on how I'm feeling. I'm not saying I could ever step up on Pebble Beach and say, 'OK, Woods, it's on!' But I definitely would take on a challenge as far as (a normal) game goes."

"Being in SLIPKNOT, (people) think we're just these crazy guys who wear masks and have nothing else going on in life," Fehn continued. "Sometimes, it's tough."

"This (tournament) is a huge deal for me, to be able to show we — pretty much all of us in the band — have a lot of other things going on other than our main job. We've got pretty much every (interest) covered."

"When I'm out on the golf course, nobody can get to me," Fehn said. "For the most part, it's complete solitude. I just drive the cart and think about stuff and let everything else go for a while. It's just four hours when I'm outside. It's pretty priceless, actually, to come from one world to that world."
