Today I found out people bring speakers to listen to music out on the golf course

How is this a thing people do? I’m only 29 so definitely not some old fart, but golf as I’ve known it has always been a game of relative peace and quiet. Suddenly I’ve started getting advertisements for speakers that people use on the course.

Has anyone encountered this in real life? I couldn’t imagine blasting music while playing myself and I’d be pretty irate if I was out on the course and started hearing that near me while trying to play.

I’m sure everyone loves playing with you.

Everyone’s been blasting music for 10+ years

Is this a real post? Holy cow they’ve been selling magnetic speakers, cup holder speakers, and cooler bag speakers for years. The only invention that’s needed is a wearable device that will change the volume and direction of play based on where you are so that you can hear it from the cart while on the green but then it’s not blasting your ears off when you get back in.

Have you played a round of golf in the last decade or so? Serious question.

I think most groups listen to music these days. I personally dont play music in a group but i have no problem if my friends do. I might make fun of their selection but i dont require silence.

I played in a pro am and got paired up with a guy who thought he was Kasey Kasem. Blasting music the whole time and dropping album/band trivia. The young pro was from australia and her parents thought the music was fantastic.

But i damn sure like to listen to music on the range. Do yall have a go-to range warmup song?

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.
Everyone plays music on the course, including old people.

I played at a country club that has a $160k initiation fee (not a brag I was invited by a coworker I cannot afford it). The carts had speakers built into them and all the old rich guys were blasting music.

I can’t imagine being so stuck up and boring that this bothers you

I doesn’t bother me per se but I would prefer someone not force it down my throat - obviously if it’s a regular play group that everyone’s comfortable with and it’s a normal thing then no big deal.

If I get paired with a random and they blast me with their shite music without even asking if I mind, then yeah it’s kind of annoying. To each his her own tho.

If you’ve been playing at private country clubs your whole life & never hear music on the course, maybe LIV Golf isn’t for you.

No wonder why LIV gets so much hate around here

While you’re shooting an 84? It’s not that serious bro. I figured most people drink beer & listen to music when they golf.

The generation before you are the ones responsible for this. Millennials are the ones.

Don’t drink. Don’t play golf with friends. Lower-middle class. Don’t listen to music while you play.

Hard pass for me.

I mostly walk so carrying extra stuff is not interesting to me.

I hear it, but I guess I’m sort of used to it.
Seems like the cool guys do it mostly.

I don’t try to control what others do. I can’t hear very well so it does not really bother me.

No way this is a serious post.. I like a little music on a recreational round.. I won't play it loud because what I like listening to someone else might not..

Can't tell you how many times I hear some dingle douche hackers bro country garbage turned up to 11 from 2 fairways over.. That's aggravating and makes me want to hit
stingers in their direction..

This is either the greatest troll post in golf board history or you live with your mom still. Loosen up a little. Its going to be okay if people listen to music, have a few beers, and enjoy their time on the course away from real life. Also zero percent chance you have never seen this.

Some people play music in their carts but it is not as common as most here are making it seem. Maybe 10% of the carts of the groups on my course play music. Usually at a volume that can’t be heard from 100 yards away. Not a problem. Last week though there was a group of younger guys in their early 20s. They had some voice auto tuned rap shite that could be heard from the tee box of a 150 yd Par 3 when they were on the green.

You sound like a huge pussy lol. I don’t buy the “I play at classier courses” bs. Guarantee I play at a more exclusive/prestigious club than you and hear music a good bit. You sound like the lamest 29 year old on the planet.

I've been paired up with numerous people who play music during the round. All of them have been nice about it, asked if I mind etc.

Doesn't bother me, especially if they are nice about it and keep it at a moderate level. The only way I could see myself getting irritated is if they were really blasting the music loudly which I have just never come across.

I often like to smoke a cigar while playing. If I'm paired up with a rando I'll ask if they mind and even offer them a cigar.
