I understand that ...chuck said:
My concentration is fragile and always has been. Ive always played with people who kept quiet when people were hitting, and that's what I'm used to, so any unnatural noise when I'm over the ball and ready will invariably ruin a shot for me. I have a swing thought sequence that, if I don't go through it, I won't hit the ball well. It's a sure thing.Tequilla said:
I get the idea of trying to pick someone that everybody in your group wants to listen to ...chuck said:
My stance is that everyone should have a choice on the music. Either keep it quiet enough that other groups can't hear it, or wear headphones. People who don't like it shouldn't have to hear it when there are other ways. Most of these people either think they're being cool by sharing their tunes with everyone else (the hipsters) or are doing it defiantly because they know it's irritating to most of the other golfers out there (NASCAR crowd).BleachedAnusDawg said:I kinda like having some music playing at the tee box. Beats everyone talking in their fake Jim Nantz whisper voices.
I don't get the stance of music on the course being a negative (unless we're talking about competitive rounds) ... 98% of rounds out there are designed for fun, relaxation, and enjoyment
Personally, I really enjoy listening to yacht rock on the course because it mellows me out ... but to each their own
I'm working on it. I get a fair amount of shit for being so sensitive and probably deserve it.
The idea of music during golf is a new thing though as far as I'm concerned and it shouldn't be pushed on folks who don't like it. I'm going to teach myself to deal with it, but I still don't think I should have to.
I'm not great when there are sudden noises when I play ... but if the noise is constant than I'm not in a bad spot -
There were some dudes a hole in front of us blasting the whole Exodus album one day last summer. I was trying to be chill about it but caught myself humming along to I Don't Want to Wait In Vain while I was trying to hit. That's what I have to work on...tuning it out when it mattersTequilla said:

It should never be loud enough that you can hear it a group awaychuck said:

Loudest that is acceptable to me is that you can barely hear it from your cart when on the green putting out -
I would consider myself a no-music-on-the-course guysm, and then I started thinking, and realized that, for the entirety of my life since I got into music (about age 12), I have songs going through my head, all the time, no matter the situation. I got fired up the other day when Nazareth, Hair of the Dog came on, because that was what I listened to to set the mood, and was in my head while pitching. It's the same on the course. From Brubeck to Blitzkreig Bop, and everywhere between, if it gets in there, I ride it. I dropped a snark line in Yella's dead pool thread the other day, and spent the next 2 hours chit-chatting with nice respectable people at the country club with Star Fucker rolling through my brain on a loop...I think there is something wrong with me...chuck said:

CHRIST
Like Teq said 98% of rounds aren’t real competition. Sure there is money on the line but it’s for fun. Which means
Music
Booze
Cigars (I don’t but others sure do)
Weed (a few dudes I play with light up)
Music does need to be generally agreed, so I keep customized stations of 90s alt rock, classic rock and rap/hip hop.
But it’s rare to find myself playing golf in a group where all golfers don’t share in the general agreement that we’re gonna drink, play some tunes, smoke if you wanna and talk shit. -
Hope Joe has got some time on his hands…
