Golf Playlists

[PBH3 101]

For those of you that listen to music on the course are there any Apple Music playlists you recommend?  

[Tiftaaft 949]

Well, the guy playing 4 holes over from me last night was listening to PopRocks on Sirius/XM, if that helps.

Above is my personal playlist that I listen to almost exclusively on the course.

Below is a good classic rock station that I do listen also. Look for this album cover though. There is another classic rock station however it is not as good IMO.

Don’t listen to music on the course but do listen at the range or putting practice. Usually listen to a SiriusXM classic rock station.

Or you can put yours in and not hear what’s going around while others enjoy themselves

... Isn't it about time to refresh the paint on your Get Off My Lawn sign?    I have come full circle on this issue. Like everything else in life, your personal enjoyment should not infringe on others that may not share your preferences. I usually play with others in carts and 5 days week at that so a little music keeps me company while they zip around the course. I have a JBL Clip that is quite directional and if you are standing on the other side of my bag you probably won't be able to hear the music from 6 feet away and 10 feet away there is no way. Music keeps me company as I walk and I can't hear it while on the tee or the green. That said, quite often my pards will ask me to turn it up and I will do so to a level only our group can hear. I am aware there are others on an adjacent tee/fairway/green that may not like Classic Rock or music at all.

... Play music if you like, but just be considerate of those around you that may not want to hear it. In the last 10 years I have had exactly 2 strangers prefer I turn my music off even though they can't hear it unless they are standing right next to me, so I just turned it off. But I have had hundreds ask me to turn it up. Times are achangin'.

Those playing their music loudly are changing that natural state, forcing their desire for the noise that pollutes nearly every other space in our everyday lives on those who want to exist in the natural state. Those who do it know this at heart, as they know they are the ones who are taking a conscious step to change the environment, knowing that it is affecting those around them, but not caring.

 

... You are probably giving inconsiderate people too much credit. I think most are completely unaware that their actions effect others. You are right, they just don't care but I think it is more out of complete ignorance than rudeness.

But to suggest that those who don't want to hear your noise should plug their ears and miss out on conversation with friends and the sounds of nature, as I have seen some say, is the height of narcissism and self centeredness. 

Says the person who demands everyone behave the way they say to

I played Hawaiian music whe it was cold and rainy. It didn’t help.

... I use Pandora taking advantage of their Thumbs Up/Down to basically create my own Classic Rock station, similar to what I played on the radio back in the 70's and early 80's.

And not hear you shout 'FORE!'  ?

Seriously, each to their own.  But surely playing music loud enough so it inhibits hearing warnings etc,  whether through speakers or earphones, is a real safety concern

Just an FYI, ear buds come with hear-through technology these days. I use them on the driving range, and walking the dogs. It’s never really a problem to hear things around me.

I guess some folks just love to complain for the sake of complaining

And I guess chisag is right again when he says it is complete ignorance, not rudeness, that causes people to be inconsiderate. 

It's everywhere. Can't even go food shopping without some person completely unaware that they are taking up the entire isle by going down the center and you are trying to get by. Or the family of 8 that have to all walk with the cart.

... I'll see your Hanlon's and raise you a John Cleese:


 

 

[bens197 12,389]

Our default is around 10 albums of my favorites from Dave Matthews Band. 
 

It’s not the kind of music you blast so we tend to not offend many with noise complaints…instead, we’ll have younger groups nearby and say “is that Dave Matthews?” 
 

Yes

 

Followed by silence…they’re mocking us. And when I realize their first album was released 29 years ago it’s their subtle way of calling us old.

Personally, I find that when I listen to 90's music, I shoot in the 90s and if I listen to 80's music I shoot in the 80's.  I tried listening to 70's music hoping to shoot in the 70's but just found that I hit my driver and fairway woods like they were made of persimmon and my irons like they were tiny blades that over emphasized any mishit.





*apologies if this falls flat but just wanted to get back to playlists versus playing music on the course.  remember we never HAVE to play golf, we GET to play golf.  just enjoy the experience no matter what.
