Yeah it's weird to me also...
And i think you're right about Chino's rig as well.
Heard the golfing thing before, makes a lot of sense (he seems like a super peaceful dude, and when you're in the middle of tour frenzy, you want some peace and quiet to recharge your batteries, and golfing seems to be perfect for that). Chris from Slipknot/Will Haven is into golfing also.
And Clown Slipknot and the guitar players from Slipknot are into fishing (another "peace and quiet" activity).
