Music on course

[JC17393]

Words to live by: No one gives a **** about your taste in music, so keep it to yourself.

I'm thinking about taking my violin along next time, you know, to play when one of my companions starts crying about a shot.

I like music at a park course. but if Im at a course that is more of a natural landscape then I prefer the sounds of mother nature.

 

[RustyD]

In general even at a park course I go to enjoy being outside. I don't care if other people have music on, but if I can here it more than 20 feet away, I am not happy.

 

[DiscJunkie]

In before the Landfill...
I wear earbuds out of respect for my fellow DGers.
If I'm in a group, I'll only put them in when I'm throwing. I don't want to miss the conversation.

If someone else in my group asks, I'll tell them that I would prefer not to listen to their music. But I won't be a prick about it.
If I can't concentrate because of some bad music, perhaps I should take up chess...

I crank up the Limp Bizkit and then look the other way when card-mates are committing infractions because I'm too busy doing an illegal Ulibarri walking putt.

You guys are way to serious. Pdga events I understand not wanting the distraction but otherwise casual rounds are well..... Casual

 

[SonicGuy]

I was trying to quote the guy that said you can't say weed but it turns out the mods already deleted the posts with weed in them, but to reiterate you cannot say anything about weed because weed is a banned topic and any discussion of weed will get the thread filled or the posts having to do with weed deleted.

If you're going to play music, at least have to courtesy to play it loud enough that I can hear it on the other side of the course..

I'm just waiting for someone to post the obligatory Rodney Dangerfield picture with "Anyway You Want It" blaring in the background.

 

[AndyJB]

I dont like it.

Because no one EVER plays music I listen to (Im eclectic but very particular.) Its always something completley ridiculous...Swedish Speed Metal or some 95 minute hippie jam band or Skrillex and the dubstep all stars. I have yet to encounter someone blaring a moderate musical genre that many people enjoy.

I work out everyday. My gym doesnt really play music. It would be totally ridiculous if you showed up with those terrible quality backpack speakers and started blasting your music. Or imagine you showed up for a game of bowling and did that?

I get the outsider aspect of disc golf. Its what drew me in so many years ago. But be polite. Wear headphones.

 

[Kodachrome]

Oh, this again.

Someone call the wahmbulance.

Loud music is dumb. People who listen loud generally display their lack of regard in other ways as well, such as littering, poor etiquette, etc. It's not a music thing. It's a stupid people thing. more stupid people now have found their way into what was once a rather small demographic.

I listen at a reasonable volume. You'll hear my music if we are on the same tee. That's it. Usually I turn it down a bit more if someone is teeing off. But I'll exit this discussion now to make room for the nature purists who cannot fathom a round with music and can't throw in the presence of anything but the silent trees. Not you specifically, rustyd.

Andy, forcing someone to listen to your music while in an enclosed area next to other social groups seems a bit of a different scenario.

 

[Central Scrutinizer]

I'm all for you playing your music on the course...so long as you have a nice pair of headphones. Keep it to yourself.

 

[tomte]

Just plain and simple. No, do not play your music on a course in a way that others can hear it.

 

[ranger]

Guys, should we turn this into a work out thread? We are pretty awesome at those too.

 

[prohopkid]

Music on course dont mind to much, usually people are respectful and keep it quite. Now what I hate is people who blast that rap music on their phones walking down hallways of public places, malls, even the streets. Even worse when they try to do the little wayne voice.

Pretty sure if i walked around blaring my grindcore, deathmetal, screamo stuff people would be pissed. Why is it socially acceptable for people to walk around very public places blasting rap...??

 

[AmsterdamHeavy]

Yeah, Ill jump into this, because why not?

I play music on the course; no one can hear it more than 10 ft away and a conversation can always take place over it. If someone gets near me and asks me to turn it down, I will say no; if they dont ask nicely I'll say more.

The authoritarian tools in this thread make me laugh. People have been carrying around music with them since at least the invention of the transistor radio - no, actually longer, there were battery powered '45 players in the 60s too. I can just imagine you whiny twats telling a beach full of people to turn off their radios so you can enjoy the natural sounds of the surf - you are utterly ridiculous. You need to get over yourselves and stop thinking that you have any power of influence over anyone else that is not doing harm - espeically your pathetic attempts at shaming by invoking group norms and what "everybody thinks". No one owes you a thing. Playing music in a park / on a course, even if it is loud, is no one's problem but YOURS unless there is an actual noise ordinance being violated - and the chances of that happened with a dookie bluetooth speaker are non-existent. (I carry a JBL flip myself).

Oh, and screw headphones. I wear them at a desk, never anywhere else. Not in the gyn working out, not on the course, not riding a bike - I prefer to hear what is going on around me and frankly, I find it personally unsafe (lack of awareness) to use headphones while out in the world around people doing other things.

If any of the OPs would frame their complaints as "obnoxiously loud music" you might get more sympathy. For any of you that hold the position that "no music ever under any circumstances" - you should examine why you think you can even make the statement, and then think about how youre going to enforce it. That last bit would be REALLY amusing.

All I want for the next ten Christmases is for you two to be members of the same gym.
