Dan, how do you feel about excessive exclamation points?

One is plenty!!!

I'm sure you agree.

P.S. I've become a fan of the interrobang: "?!'

Can you believe it?!

I love this topic!  I recently had a chance to walk several great courses on the west coast.  Soaking in the scenery and architecture while jamming out on my iPod to my favorite music was a great treat.  Here is the list and accompanying tunes: (little different than the sistine chapel stuff....)

Bandon Trails - Paul Oakenfold - Live in Ibiza
Bandon Dunes - David Gilmour - On an Island
San Francisco Golf Club - John Butler Trio - Grand National
Cypress Point - The Killers - Day & Age

All the others I had to focus and actually play golf.

Have I told you that I too am a clarinettist?

You have not.

Screw the organ (so to speak). As far as I'm concerned, the clarinet is the King of Instruments.

It can't help but have a comeback, someday. You can't keep the greats down.

Last August we were in Santa Barbara during the annual Music Academy of the West, and the big star of the huge orchestra they assembled from all the talented kids was a clarinetist.  I'm drawing a blank on the piece she starred in but it was spectacular.

(By "huge orchestra" I mean 9 basses, 15 cellos, 60 violins, etc etc.  It was quite a sight and sound!)

Bill, Dan -
I have often been struck by the fact that during the depression years and years of war the joyous, lilting sound of the clarinet was king; but that during the 40 years of almost uninterrupted prosperity following WW II, the clarinet disappeared from popular music and was replaced by the angry sounds of the electric guitar and the aggressive sound of the tenor sax.

The Google ... rocks!

My guess:  Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 ("Pathetique")

I'm not sure there is anything dorky-er than setting a photo slideshow of golf holes to music, as if photo slideshows are bad enough.

An old boss once took pictures at the Masters and set it to the song "Walking in Memphis"...he thought it was great until I said it didn't make sense because Memphis is 400+ miles away from Augusta. ::)

For Gene Greco:  Yup, I think Copland also when heading up to the sand hills area.  

This one exemplifies my giddiness and probably the golf I play when I head out to the prairie...

I find that two Tom Waits songs encapsulate must of my rounds of golf.  Inevitably, they start out positively:

But usually, they end with me feeling this way...

Yep -- and they'll all headed for Ben's Porch....

I wonder if Buster Keaton played golf....

In the 1930s Lord Castlerosse, the genius behind Killarney, planned to somehow install a music system so that Beethoven's 9th Symphony could waft across the course at noon each day.
