F***. No.

Keep the music to yourself and wear ear buds.

Ain't nobody wanna hear your f'n music.

Nay

Yes. I won't bug others with it, but with my regular group for sure. Low volume and aware when near others.

All the time for a casual round. Never loud enough to annoy people not in my group. Keeps me from overthinking my golf swing.

Always. And I never mind hearing music from adj. fairways, unless it's some kind of annoying rap

Depends on where I'm playing and who I'm playing with.

A twilight round at the muni with buddies and beers then sure.

A round at a country club with lower HCers with money on the line then probably not.

If pace of play was better I wouldn't play music. As it is, I play it all the time but only loud enough you can hear it maybe 10 yards from the cart.

No hip hop. No heavy metal. Mainly light rock or Texas country.

Sometimes. Depends on the situation, but never loud enough for others to hear.

For me, at the two courses I play, with the guys/girls I play with it's an always but I'll say it depends where and who you play with generally.

I'm a fan and feel most people are going in that direction also. I'm in my 30s and play with guys/girls ranging from 20s to 60s and we're always listening to music on the course.

No, I find it distracting.

This isn't going the way the OP thought it would.

I prefer to have it every time I play. I always turn it down when I'm near other golfers.

It stresses me out if the cart I'm playing with has it on loud and we get close to other guys.

It's not for me and the guys I play with don't play music either. As long as it's not bothering others on the course, I don't have a problem with it. Just be respectful.

Absolutely yes. Keep it fairly localized and will turn it off when close to others.

I personally don't like it. We have so much noise going on in the rest of our lives. Spending a few hours just absorbing the game, the nature, the beauty, and especially the peace out there is practically therapeutic to me. As far as others. aslong as you keep the volume respectful, I don't care. But to me, it's just another example of the constant stimulation many seem to need.

I don't like it. And when others play it in my group I feel like it is imposed upon me.

I personally enjoy riding past the blue hairs at 7:30 am banging Bone Thugs. JK. I don't go that. Anymore.

I'm opposed to ****ty music on the golf course.

Outstanding response!

One thing I have seen increase is the number of folks that don't give a **** about how loud they are playing it. As listening on the course has grown more prevalent in general, it seems like a lot more are just assuming everyone is ok with it.

I agree with Danny. About the only time I can enjoy music on the course is if the course is super slow and their is a ton of waiting around.

I dont care for or against it. Its usually ok with me when people play music. This last tourney, tho, had 4 carts blaring medium volume and all different types of music (chris stapleton vs 90s hip hop vs EDM vs heavy metal)... it got distracting when they would all bunch up to watch a shot. Im all about a volume limiter, because everybody with 4 different 6 1/4s blasting music is a bit much.

Always listen to music. Also always mindful of other groups. I'd say 90% of the guys at my club listen to music during their round.

I take my cues from the players around me. For example, if I see a guy hitting balls in blue jeans, this is pretty much an invitation to crank up the jams.

My wife and I were walking a beautiful wooded trail in a local park one morning. Enjoying the sounds of nature and watching the critters move about. Half way into the walk we heard, "boom boom boom......" Some guy comes biking down the path with an old fashioned boom box strapped across his bike. It was so fricken loud it took a few minutes after he passed to not hear booming any more. Why? Why go into a rural setting and ruin everyone else's enjoyment? I don't get it.

Hate it. The whole point of golf is the absence of artificial stimulation. Played a two man tournament at our club a couple weeks ago and other cart had bro-country blaring. Kill me. I don't understand, if you want to have music, use wireless headphones?? Ugh.

It's not ok to make noise in someone's backswing. So it's not ok to play music. Now if your 4 some agree, then so be it. Doesn't mean everyone else want to hear it.

So those of you who play music, do y'all keep quiet in others backswing? If so, why?

Don't get me wrong. I love music. Just not on the golf course.

No it's not. You want that, go take a walk in the woods. The point of a weekend round is to get 4-5 hrs to relax and not deal with the normal day to day stuff that plagues us. For some of us, that relaxation involves listening to music.

For me, this does not apply to vacation rounds at special courses and usually not country clubs, esp if I'm a guest of someone. All other courses, I'll play my music at a reasonable level.

I don't mind it. Sometimes I enjoy it. But I never play it myself.

I thought when it first started that I was going to hate it. But it doesn't really register with me one way or another.

Then relax at home with your music.

I don't know about the rest of you but golf has never been a relaxation activity for me. It involves intense concentration for me.

Lol...touch. It's definitely a relaxation thing for me even though there are times it doesn't feel that way. I enjoy good and even bad rounds too much to take it too seriously.

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 need to turn that sh@t down.
