Than a well struck shot on a links fairway?

Tempted to say a TV pro shouting “Fore” but I’ll go with the sound of metal spikes on a solid surface or a gravel path.
Some may recall how back in the days of metal spikes players would stop and stop still if they spotted another player nearby about to play a shot. Not now with soft spikes and dimple soles though, it’s the era of walk on bye, likely chattering too, forgetting that movement can be as distracting to a player about to play a shot as sound.

A well struck shot echoing off tall trees is way better.

This and the sound of persimmon striking balata are how golf should sound in my opinion.

I might be old school, but the sounds I like best on the golf course are those that aren't man made....

Kalen,


A flag flapping in the wind on a course near the sea is pretty darn good.

Fair enough Ira, I'll give you that one!  ;)

My personal fave, (only because I get to play seaside golf very rarely) is in the morning hearing all the birds getting their day started...

Slightly off topic but how about the worst sound in golf? My vote goes to a golf cart put into reverse.

The big leaf blower attached to the back of a tractor.  Both the noise and the knowledge that winter is coming.

I hope that is heard a lot more at my home course in the coming years. :)

Ach,
Methinks the keening of gulls amidst the sighing of an estuarine breeze through seaside grassy dunes whilst ocean waves are gently lapping and "..slapping.." the seashore cannot be beaten!

Colin,

As for the less poetic here in the Treehouse, I would nominate my favorite echo from the ether: The beautiful music of a persimmon driver, hitting an old balata golf ball, right on the screws . . . . . . I liken it to the difference between one of those awful metallic baseball bats, compared to the lyrical, organic pop of a wooden bat against a fastball, soaring over the fence for a 9th inning walk-off home run to beat the L.A. Dodgers.
