What's good out there? The one I have now is several years old and doesn't always last a full round.

Such a crap shoot on the quality of sound, fit in a cart, durability, etc without hearing first hand recommendations

Most Bluetooth speakers made these days will last a whole round and sound pretty good.

This is what I have and it's perfect for the golf course. It has a strap that can secure it right to the cart where you can change the volume easily if needed. Music is just fine on the course as long as you respect the others playing around you!

I've heard good things about the Bushnell one that has GPS built in. Probably more than you're looking for though.

I don't mind the price. I just don't need the GPS. I already double dip on yardage. Keep an app open for course overview, layup distances, and distance to the front/center/back of the green, then use a range finder to get exact pin distance.

For a cheap speaker you don't care much about, this iHome fits perfectly in a cup holder and can get pretty loud if you want it to. It also can be perfect for cart only jams.

I always hear them talking about this but I'm usually half paying attention so I don't catch the name. Thanks for the link.

I bought a G-Rok on Amazon last year for ~$65, it has a magnet that can damn bear lift the cart, sounds great, and I can forget to charge it and 2 weeks later it still cranks up on the course.

microSD card support is a very cool feature. No bluetooth or streaming needed. May have to consider switching to two of these.

Have no idea what you're talking about but that sounds like it must be good.

"Don't have reception at your course? No problem, the G-ROK can hold a 32GB SD card so you can store up to 5,000 songs and enjoy music without even needing your phone."

Got it. I'm technology lazy. I have an 18 year old so I outsource that function.

Dammit! I really didn't need one of these.

But I just bought one anyway.

I can second the recommendation on the Rokform speaker. The magnet feature is clutch to not take up cup holder space in the cart, and sound quality and charge length are great. The promo code mentioned above makes it a no brainer.

Your 18 year old may not even know how to put songs on a microSD card. If it doesn't involve Pandora or Spotify, the kids don't get it either.

I have the Bushnell Wingman and don't really use the GPS. It's a great speaker. The built in magnet is nice to just stick it anywhere on the golf cart.

Where are the purist at? I am disappointed there has not been any negative comments for my reading entertainment.

I will try to righten the ship. You cant play real golf with dumb music playing..... Be sure to tune in music from the 50's and 60's as those are the best decades for music.

I can one up you. If music is used to help with tempo it is by definition cheating.

Golf playlists probably deserve their own thread, but here are some of the tunes in mine. (The full list has > 9 hours of music.) Along with staples like Back in Black, Low Rider, China Grove, Pick Up the Pieces, and most of SRV's discography, I have a bunch of other jazz/fusion/rock pieces.

Church - Galactic
Cantaloop - Us3
Chili Hot - Us3
Shellah V - Chris Joss
My City Was Gone - The Pretenders (always gets thumbs up in memory of el Rushbo)
Destroyer - The Kinks
Dazz - Brick
Funk #49 - James Gang
Cool Thieves - Gramatik
***** - Rolling Stones
Jungle Boogie - Kool & the Gang
Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
Good Time - Arc Angels
Groove Me - King Floyd
Do You Wanna Get Down - The Soul Snatchers
Free Ride - Edgar Winter Group

Friday I'll be watching and listening to Ryder Cup while playing.

That replaces our normal "Beach Boys Friday" routine

I used a UE Megaboom for years. My dad randomly bought me a Bushnell Wingman while playing at his club over Easter. I've been using that since. Battery life is really good, its a little smaller than the Megaboom and the GPS is nice to have sometimes. As mentioned above, the magnet is really strong and it's nice to stick it up out of the way.

I use Rokform and love the magnetic part. I use it for golf, hunting, and on the patio at the ranch. Get one with a magnet so you have the extra space.
