The magnet on the bushnell is awesome. Keep the button in your pocket so you can push it as soon as you get to your ball and it will shout the yardage out to you. No need for a laser

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
In all serious y'all know that it has nothing to do with the sanctity of golf or your music selection . . . right?hunterjr81 said:
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 will jump in. I personally hate when people play music on the golf course. Mainly because most of the time they do it entirely too loud, or multiple carts in a group have their own stuff going. I find it annoying. My father in law is very annoying about it. It seems like he is always worrying about his stupid large obnoxious speaker (making sure its charged, worrying about it connecting, etc) and when he does have it on the course its loud and crappy music. I suppose I am in the minority these days of people who enjoy golf as a quiet getaway from everyday fast paced life of phone/social media/etc. It would not bother me one bit when playing golf with a foursome that not a single word is spoke between everyone the entire round.hunterjr81 said:

If music must be played I want it to only be heard when the person is sitting in their cart. Many of the nicer courses with the gps on the carts that allow music keep it at a very respectable volume in which I am referencing in my previous sentence.

Its not as annoying to me as when going for a hike in a national park and some dumbass is blaring music as they walk along. That **** drives me crazy.
You dont have to play Metalica....Ol_Ag_02 said:
I have two daughters and a wife. When I go play golf I generally would like to enjoy some peace and quiet, mixed in with some casual conversation and beers.
Now I'm not gonna complain or stop playing with someone if they play music on the cart. It's really no different than anything else; If I can hear your **** from across the fairway or next hole away please turn down your bro country. It's really a common courtesy thing more than anything else.

One of the main etiquettes in golf is being silent while others are hitting a shot.
If I can hear your music (that you have a total control of) then your etiquette is out of line.
If you're with buddies and all agree music is OK, fine. But if other golfers can hear your music, you're out of line.
If playing with a stranger, asking if music is OK is inappropriate. As most will say sure just so they don't want to come off as a ******. I will say **** no put your earbuds on in one ear.

Nope. Being silent by not talking in someone's backswing =/= ambient noise or music in the background
Ambient noise is present at every Tournament...at every level.
I'm going to play my Bob Marley in my cart at the same volume throughout the round.
It's well within the Rules of Golf.

Can you at least adapt and not play some ****ty bob marley? Or does everyone have to adapt to you? Did you pay more to be incharge of the music for the round?jj9000 said:AggieDruggist89 said:as i thought.... you're a ******.jj9000 said:AggieDruggist89 said:

Sorry, bud. The genie is out of the bottle.
You've got clubs with brand new carts...with Bluetooth speakers and Bluetooth connectivity built into the cart.
You've got Golf Digest and other publications ranking the best Bluetooth speakers for the course.
You've got a slew of folks within this thread giving Bluetooth speaker advice (kind of the point of the thread).
Adapt...brotha...adapt.

I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, so seems to be a one way street. I play public courses all over north DFW and frequently hear it from at least a fairway over. I play more golf than you so maybe that's part of it too. It doesn't ruin my day, but I do think it's a dick move to have it that loud. It's usually not teenagers, actually. Typically 20 and 30 something bros. It's also more likely to be the garbage that calls itself modern country, although that's not 100% of it. It just seems to over-index.
It seems that I struck a nerve with to draw the breaking 100 crack though. maybe you and I just have different definitions of courtesy
