Cole's parents were golf club stewards and, as an avid golfer, he is known for playing concerts in towns suspiciously close to famous golf courses. Cole's 5.3 handicap tied 11th place on Golf Digest's top 100 list of musicians (tied with Cooper and Dan Tyminski). An article he wrote, about playing the famous golf courses of the Melbourne Sandbelt while being on tour, was awarded with the Best Feature of the Year Award by the Australian Golf Writers Association. He has also starred in a commercial for a local golf supply store located near his home.
