What is wrong with listening to nature, birds on the wing, the surf crashing  along the shore or the pure silence of being on a course in paradise. Whatever you do don't bring an iPod when you are my guest.

How can you play golf and music at the same time - proving that total lack of commitment by modern players - let alone showing respect for the game.

Reminds me of the following http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz3Cc7wlfkI approaching a course with the latest arsenal in one’s bag, but who actually wins - the equipment but never the golfer who has surrendered his skill for technology – like the film clip it’s really leaves a sad note on the underlining accomplishments of Man.

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Haven't done it for years even though it was fun back in the day. It strikes me now as a breach of etiquette unless it's during a private outing where it is encouraged.

Oh Porterhouse, look at the wax build up on these shoes I want that wax stripped off there, then I want them creamed and buffed with a fine chamois, and I want them now. Chop chop.

Why restrict yourselves to recorded music on the course? I'm playing Reddish Vale today with our very own Mark Rowlinson, a world renowned baritone, and a musician friend of his from BBC Scotland.

I might just pack my harps...

Not really a ringing endorsement of his singing abilities if you are declaring the need to consume beer to make it through the round.

There is a public course in the north suburbs of Chicago which hosted an Amateur event every summer. The course sits directly next to a public swimming complex which blasts music whenever people are out there swimming in the afternoon. While it wouldn't always be my cup of tea, it was kind of fun having the music playing out over at least half of the golf course.

Bob:

It would be very inappropriate for a guest to do this and I, for one, would not even consider it, unless the member asked.  Rule number #1 of being a guest---- remember you are the guest.  Also, at certain clubs, I think it is naturally inappropriate. For instance, I won't be pulling out the iPod at Oakmont in May.

I like to pop in some earbuds when I'm on the driving range, and being indie music snob, based on some of the bands I've heard mentioned around here, I'd probably prefer if most of you also went the earbud route.  ;) 

Seriously, though, I have friends who love to listen to music when they play, but I can't say as I've ever really given it a go.  If I could be sure it was only going to be loud enough to affect our group, I don't think I'd have a problem with it.  My biggest concern is usually doing something that would inconvenience other people on the course.

I picked up some bluetooth wireless headphones that I used while I was skiing at Deer Valley this year and really enjoyed it, and was a bit surprised by how pleasant it made the day without being a distraction.  I just used one earbud at a time, which still allowed me to hear other skiers and converse with my friends.

William,

Why would you think it would take a bad experience for someone to not want guests of theirs to be engaged in listening to music instead of communicating with their host during a round of golf?

The Golf Club at Ravenna had a great sound system at their range that you could hear from quite a distance. They were playing classic rock which was good. I must have liked it as I started with 4 straight birdies (2 tap ins, a 35 footer, and a straight in 5 footer).

If I owned a golf course, I would be playing Metallica though.

My golf buddies stage an annual trip to a rough-around-the-edges Fred Findlay course in Staunton, Virginia every May. The Saturday afternoon round always includes a serenade from the adjacent VFW Post where the sounds of a rock 'n roll band playing cover tunes (think Bob Seeger) mingles with the aroma of smoky BBQ. I don't mind either one.

An OT variation on an already OT subject: The first PGA Tour event I attended was the Greater Greensboro Open in the late 1970s. I overheard two players walking down the fairway discussing the merits of Dire Straits and I remember thinking, "These guys are pretty cool."

Pradera cranks classic rock all across the practice range, and Bulls Bay plays both types!  Country and Western!

I often play with a tune going around in my head though its often just something I've listened to just before getting out of the car. There are a few tunes I go back to because they've been in my head during good rounds but they are an eclectic mix (The theme from Terminator, No Love Lost by Carcass, The Cure's In Between Days and for some reason Eagle Eye Cherry's Save Tonight (It just happened to be on the radio ok  ;) !)) BUT I can't say I've ever thought about actually playing music through speakers or headphones on the course? But if others want to in the right context, I've no problem with that?  8)

I do sometimes when visiting a nearby range in winter plug into my ipod to drown out the hacking (of others  ::) ) but never when on the practice range at Notts. i just like the sound of nature I suppose?
