I am glad that I don’t play golf with you, because I almost certainly would not enjoy myself, considering your hostile attitude. Well, aren't you a nice person.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 No. No way. I want the quiet of being in nature, and quiet conversation. And the quiet to hear the hit, hear the ball land, hear it crack a tree, bounce off a root, go in the water, etc. There is too much noise, crappy sound systems, everywhere else. Shopping, in a restaurant, fast food, doctor's office, etc. etc. Notice that almost all corporate owned stores and food joints blare MUZAK, or other bland music, while owner operated often don't because the owner and his personally known staff want to interact with me the customer, while a corporate owner views me as merely a $10, $25, or $100 wallet. I am not a musician but I used to sing in chorus, and have about 3,000 vinyl LPs and a good stereo, not home theater. Being on stage with 60 other singers, and an orchestra, is soul reviving, heart healthy, blood pressure reducing, mind improving experience. Even better than a well struck driver down the fairway on the 1st hole.

jaskanski Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I like golf. I also like music. I've never found the need to combine the two at the same time though. You could also apply the same logic to sex and curry sauce. YMMV. rmk! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfGuy64 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Music used to bother me on the course, I felt it to be strange and distracting. Now, It seems that more and more people are playing music. Most everyone I play with these days will have music. I'm now to the point that it's strange if no music is playing. I can go either way, music doesn't bother me at all now as long as the volume is down at a respectable level and it's music I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenhp Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think that I’ve answered this question before. But I’ll repeat myself. I would rather have no music and enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the nature. The people who I’ve played with and have music have been respectful and kept it down for their enjoyment.

rjacobs4 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I’m ok with music on the course. I think it’s simple courtesy to ask your playing partners if they’re ok with it. Even if the answer is yes, I keep it down so I mostly can just hear it in the cart and maybe on the tee. Definitely background music. My previous course it seemed like every cart has a speaker and music playing. Very few of the members at my current course play music. I’m ok either way.

Tbonia Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I enjoy listening to music while I play. But if whoever I’m playing with doesn’t like it I’ll keep it low or turn the music off. I use the Bushnell Wingman which also has a built in audible gps that plays through the speaker with a push of the remote that sits on top of it, and it pairs with a really nice app on your phone. So even if I’m not playing music it’s a handy tool to have ! Quote Terry Bonilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodrow72 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I have zero problem with music , usually you can’t hear it unless you’re sitting next to them . I have played with many annoying people whom I would love to hear music over their continual rants or blather . Anything in moderation is fine, if you are offended then play alone or find other people so inclined.

JP Jr Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ron, Greeting from Buhl, Idaho bro. I am with you. I go to the golf course for peace and quite. I want to hear the wind blowing in the trees, the frogs croaking, and geese honking in the distance. If someone wants to listen to music they should wear earbuds and not bother other people who just want some peace and tranquility.

release Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) On 7/24/2023 at 8:37 AM, Frozen Spy said: Ok, I don't have music so loud that anyone outside of my space hears it, it's about respect for others, I understand and practice that. What I've never understood are people who need complete silence to swing a golf club, especially on a public course. The course I grew up on is in the middle of the city with a few holes next to a busy road, people would honk during your back swing sometimes, I guess it trained me to tune out the noise, so it doesn't bother me. My biggest problem with music is not singing and dancing We all need to learn while enjoying our freedom and our rights, not to invade or intrude upon the others who are entitled to the same as you do. We know this "me" generation will have issues decades ago, when parent s tried to be their children's best friend instead of being a parent. It is not difficult to act appropriately for the place you're at. Golf course is not a place to have broadcasted music or even continuously loud conversation. I have no problem with golfers using earbuds to enjoy their time, Not looking to socializing between the golf shots on the golf courses. But please, don't be that guy blasting their earth shattering bass in the traffic with their windows rolled down. That kind of behavior is for the young who had not learned their lessons yet. If one is not considerate enough to realize to respect the others, then they will have more issue in life than not being welcomed on the golf course. Think of the music could be an invading instrument when not wanted. Especially on the golf course.

Call the club house to have them send someone down to baby sit the group, or to give them the instruction of how to behave on the golf course. We had golfer asking to join our group on the golf course because they could not stand their pairing who curse loudly on every bag golf shot. And we could hear this guy grumping a fairway away. We really should provide a brief 30 minutes lesson for the new golfers to learn the etiquette and proper behavior on the golf courses. When something becomes more popular, their be a larger presence of unwanted elements. What we could do is to educate and minimize the inappropriate element.

Bsimpson24 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Some of the newer golf carts now have the ability to synch their phones up via Bluetooth and use it as a Bluetooth speaker, so it seems like some golf cart manufacturers are encouraging it.I’m okay with being slightly audible from the tee box, but that’s it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Driver: TaylorMade - R11s 4 Wood: Callaway - Big Bertha War Bird Irons: 4 - GW Mizuno Pro 223 w/ Dynamic Gold 105 Wedges: Lazrus 56* & Titleist Vokey 60* Putter: Ping Zing Blade Bag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the volume is reasonable and the language is clean, then live and let live. I'd normally agree with live and let live, but then you experience people in the real world. Just last weekend I was playing at a nice course ($70-$80 range) and on three occasions the group behind rolls up right behind our carts while my group is on the tee hitting with their music playing at a reasonably loud volume. It was completely rude and disrespectful. Turn the music down while you wait for us to hit and leave or stay back far enough that the music is not a distraction to others.

There’s a Top Golf driving range I’ve been to in California where the music is flowing, the beer is running and there’s a loud, laughing fun time in all the stalls, where friends go and have a great time. I think it’ a great idea for a driving range. It’s like the bowling alley on a Saturday night when bowling alleys were the thing to do.

Fyrmedic Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I think it all comes down to respect. As long is the group I’m playing with has a consensus. The music is fine maybe offer everybody a choice on genre or mix it up throughout the day. What’s not OK is to hear who whatever they’re playing from four fairways away. When the course is backed up and the next group drives over to the Teebox when you were up there and you can’t hear yourself thing because of music is blasting just turn it down you’re not any more important than anybody else who payed their green fee to play golf that day Quote Callaway Mavrik irons, Ping woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
