Most Annoying Sound Ever on a DGC

[markmcc]

I went to shoot a few rounds at a Haley Nelson Park DGC in Burnet, TX today. Sunny and 70 degrees. What's not to like, right?

Just as I got started a couple of folks with a bagpipe (yes, a bagpipe) started tuning it at a picnic table in the middle of the course. Not playing, just tuning it. So I got to listen to a series of squeals, shrieks, and other god-awful sounds that sounded like a sadist torturing about a dozen cats, but worse.

I can hardly stand to listen to a bagpipe when it is played well, let alone played badly. My theory was that if they'd done this at home the police would have been summoned and the "artist" arrested. Rightly so.

I never thought about putting earplugs into my DG bag, but I may just throw a pair in there.

Love the bagpipes.

Most annoying?

"WOOOOOOOOOO, YEAH DUDE, WOOOOOOOOO!"

 

[Halcón]

You couldn't just block out the noise? Do you have kids?

Edit: I also love the bagpipes.

We have a tournament here that always brings in a bagpiper to play while everyone warms up. I think it sounds awesome.

I should have anticipated that DGCR was loaded with bagpipe fans. Figures...

Chainsaws(see Chainsaw Classic), and people who scream at the top of their lungs when throwing a bad shot.

i love the guitar too but my roommate wants to kill me when i tune it. same damm note over and over again that barely is changing. try that for a few minutes. i can see how some people hate on it.

however i dont. i love noise, music, ruckus, everything. only thing that will annoy me is when a car honks that is super close by when im about to throw. always gets me but its kinda funny so i aint even mad

They play bagpipes for funerals around here and that would be appropriate for my golf game and in turn, that would be annoying as heck.

Cicadas. I hate them because it is always hot and humid as balls when they start up. Combination of the two is just like that dumb and dumber bit "wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" except you are super uncomfortable and dripping sweat.

 

[Halcón]

Loud, sudden noises are startling, and can screw up your throw. But steady background noise can be blocked out.

 

[Razor]

Someone in my groups cell phone sounding off just as I'm about to release.

....and people who scream at the top of their lungs when throwing a bad shot.

This!!!!

How about that guy who will tell you before every shot what disc he would throw, what disc YOU should throw (since you don't have that disc), what type of shot you should take, and then tells you what you did wrong when his advice doesn't work out? Or then hands you the disc he would have thrown after yours hits a tree so you can have a better second shot (that doesn't count). That guy is the most annoying sound on the disc golf course.

For years our normal league ran at the same time as a christian worship in the middle of the park with their not so good singing. That threw me off sometimes.

 

[ohtobediscing]

:thmbup: for bagpipes, birds of prey, creeks and rivers, hearing chains after your teeshot

:thmbdown: for "WOOOOOO DOOOOOOD!", bad players who rant, gfs who won't STFU, yapping dogs, loud stoner music

 

[Kodachrome]

I will also vote for people with the little speakers blaring away. Unless it is music I like, and it never is unless me and my best friend are throwing.

 

[heartman]

reggae music

People who loves bagpipes > 40 years of age lol

Oh yeah. I forgot this one. Last summer a Russian church decided to blare their worship music at the course by my house... Which happens to be on a lake. Holy crap does Russian worship music carry across the water on a clear summer day... It didn't mess with my game though. I was singing along in gibberish by the end of my round. Kind of glad they never came back though.

kids in their cars blaring the dirtiest rap music they can think of and revving up their cars on the pavement during turns or whatever, trying to be some kind of wannabe tough sh*t on the block, thinking they own the place.
