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

Got the JBL Flip 5 and love it
No tech skills so the reason for the question. On the Rokform, can you sync with the phone to listen to football games....like playing golf on a Sunday listening to a game? For a BIL....plays a lot of golf and thought he could listen to an NFL game while playing. Thanks for any info.

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
I've had one of these for about 6 years and love it. Fits in cup holder, plenty loud, and can still play multiple rounds on one charge
Still going strong after years of service
In all serious y'all know that it has nothing to do with the sanctity of golf or your music selection . . . right?hunterjr81 said:

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.
There are just people that don't like walking around with music in their ear all the time. No different than if you pulled up next to me with your music while I'm at work, or in line at the grocery store.
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.
Yeah, I was thinking not towards playing music but able to listen to football while driving/in between shots/waiting for the group ahead to clear. Volume at the level to only hear in the cart. Maybe he would hate it and like some said....wants to get away to play golf and nothing else as a distraction.

Listening to music and playing "real golf" aren't mutually exclusive
Wingman is pretty dang good. I have one, press a button tells you yardage, then keeps playing. Not sure how you beat it.

In my experience, they guys playing music in their carts are the ones smiling, laughing and generally enjoying golf. I haven't run into one music person that was an old cranky a hole yet.
Not saying no music means you aren't having fun or whatever. Just my observation of music golfers. Fwiw, I just play music quietly on my phone speaker.

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.
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.

This is the worst because people don't realize how much it carries around them. Hiking and skiing piss me off way more. Hiking because usually it's hard to get away from these people and skiing because it's always the worst music. Just use a damn headphone if you need it.
At least with golf for the most part there are enough noises around to drown it out. I only care if I can here it during my shot and you're no where near me. Definitely have listened to music plenty, just do it with some curtesy and it's all good.

It doesn't matter if it's Vivladi. Some people just don't like it.
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.

Your music is not ambient.
So when a tee box is near a backyard with a pool party going on, you skip that hole and go where it's quieter?

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.
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:

Yes.
Nah...
This is the epitome is me me me generation where a common courtesy has been completely thrown out the window. The marketing hype and commercialism to drive profit should not be misconstrued as the ticket to suddenly promote the lack of awareness and consideration for other golfers.
You can and you will continue to do what pleases you and feel justified because you read golf digest but some of us will continue to carry on as before and not inconvenience others. And I did not say no music on the course. I said, it shouldn't bother others who doesn't want to hear it.
Ambient noise on a plane is quite loud... but it doesn't give you the right to blast Bob Marley let alone Mozart or Vivaldi because now you can use your portable device.

I have two 12s mounted in my cart. It's a party playing with me.
I think it's a shame that folks can't just enjoy the peace and quiet of the course. We spend every other waking hour of life connected to the noise and distractions and interruptions.
And the number of people blaring it from fairways away, or who don't have the courtesy to ask has grown massively. Kind of a shame to see. Or hear

Just because YOU enjoy peace and quiet doesn't mean others do.
I'm also really curious to know where you folks are playing where teenagers are blasting 2 Chains so loud that it is having an effect on your ability to maybe break 100. I can't think of a single time when someone's music was so loud on a course that it was worth noticing, and I play probably 60-70 rounds a year.
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
