I've been listening to music while I play for as long as I've been playing. The technology changes of badass speakers getting smaller and smaller is what's making you realize it more now.

Nothing more annoying than having to listen to someone's god awful 80's rock playlist while golfing.

I think you missed his point. He said "if" he chose to listen to music. From his previous posts it is clear he doesn't listen to music while playing so he doesn't use ear buds. He was making the point that he would be respectful to others, not literally saying he uses buds.

I think it's clear that listening to music while playing is an evenly split subject. To each his own. But for those of you who do, just remember that not everyone likes it. Be respectful.

I get it. It's a new trend. And yes I can tune it out. I am just bothered by some who play loud music and expect others to like it. For those conscientious golfers who turn it down, I appreciate the courtesy.

well loud music is a horse of a different color, and i agree with you there.

I don't mind it if it's not too loud... like barely audible from ~ 15 ft away. If you're in the group ahead of me and I can hear your music.... you will be dodging golf balls all day.

I think you missed my point. My post wasn't necessarily directed to him because he's planning to use them; more because he and others think that's a good solution. I think it's a terrible idea.

There's a time/place/group setting for music. But for those who take the Norm "no, no, no, never" stance... toughen up, buttercup.

I follow several nice daily fee courses on facebook. Just saw one post an ad saying they had new carts wtih GPS and BUILT IN BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS. Kill me now.

Get on board. Embrace the thump.

Westridge has this. The volume is just low enough it can't be heard from very far away. Works great to keep folks with crazy loud Bluetooth speakers from thinking they need to bring their own.

My club just got new carts with the built in Bluetooth speakers. It's badace. And USB chargers

I just may have to full blast 80s Ozzy, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath on the boom box...

Should be acceptable I think.

I usually play alone and I always have my phone playing The Old 97s. You would probably be hard pressed to hear it from 10 to 15 feet away.

Thats my go-to as well

It was supposed to be a comedy

Yeah but look how much more fun they're all having.

Not Judge Smails.

The man's a menace!

I don't mind it, but enjoy the disconnect to media. I listen when playing alone sometimes. Of course I am streaming TexAgs radio. But I would not listen when playing with others.

I think the first question in the parking lot outside the pro shop before loading clubs is "who has their speaker?"

My group always has music playing. Usually 1 cart but sometimes both. Most common music played is early 2000s Houston rap.

Tine Rap on the golf course..... Woof

Yay at the proper level

Grumpy old we where paired with in the two man did not like it at all. You could only hear it from within 5 feet. Jeez

I was playing solo Friday evening. Had me speaker as usual. The head pro heard I was on the course and rode out to meet me (I'm a former superintendent and sometimes staff will come say hello). I had forgotten my speaker was on until the Pro started singing along to Johnny Cash as he walked up to meet me.

Found AggieDruggist's house!

This and Country and Yacht Rock

I don't normally listen to music while playing golf, but it does not bother me at all when paired with someone or others in a tournament that do.

I think an air horn works better to cover up the music.

Can you give me an example of tracks that might be included in such a playlist?


...for shared commiseration and not at all due to tracks that might be in my own rotation.

---

I play regularly with guys who also play together in a band. One guy is the bassist, so the rotation includes a lot of Rush and Ratt. Another guy is the keyboardist and he loves Devo and Kraftwerk. I often run the mixing board for them, so my playlist has a lot of reference tracks with multiple vocalists and instruments (think Simple Minds and B-52s.) We have a blast.
