Is it normal for 2 people in your group of 3 to be blasting music from speakers?

Let's get this part out of the way:
Casual rounds, I don't mind music too much. Sanctioned rounds (tournament or league), I'd prefer to not hear someone else's music. I have been on a card where we all were okay with it, but since then I've learned another reason for the rule above. I definitely don't want 'warring' music - one person playing music is okay, not two or more.
I was in a tournament, where the group behind us was playing music on a speaker (at the time, I didn't know about the rule I quoted above). We were on the tee box and one of my card mates was in the process of throwing when the "music" group came up to the tee area with the music playing loudly. It affected his play. We told them they needed to turn the music down when they were approaching other groups. They apologized, but after we threw they turned it up again and it was loud the next time they got close to us. We mentioned it to the TD and that's when we found out about the rule above.
So, in a non-sanctioned or casual round - music is okay if the group agrees to it. But it needs to be one person playing it and it needs to be low enough to not affect other groups. Sanctioned rounds, use ear buds or something else and keep it to yourself.

It would be a plot twist if they were playing same music 8n sync with each other. This is where I say ear phones are better option as long as they don't interfere with interactions with the group.

Ha. In my mind I'm picturing one of them cranking Slipknot and the other guy blaring some Garth Brooks.

It was a horrible unintelligible nails on a chalkboard mix of metal and rap. I should have just told them to play Limp Bizkit. Everyone wins!

Lol, might come out like the Pantera/David Allen Coe collar Rebel Meets Rebel.
And yes, that is a thing that exists.

My guess is that 80-90% of players do not want to listen to someone else's music, but will say they don't mind just to avoid a confrontation.
What sucks about the situation is that if someone asks if you mind if they play music and you say "yes, I mind" then you are the bad guy! :wall:

I would have told both guys to make up their mind and pick one. Did you think of asking them to turn one off?

Well.....I am the bad guy, but asking people to not be rude by blasting their music does not make a person bad. The person blasting the music is the bad guy......and also me, I am the bad guy

First, no one should EVER play Limp Bizquick. Ever. Even Fred Durst knows that, evidenced by his wise decision to lay really, really low for a decade.
Second, YES, there are more than 10 reggae songs. And most of them are pretty great.
Third, I understand everyone has an opinion about music.
These are some of mine.
ETA: I can hang with or without music while playing. But I think I prefer the sound of the woods. How else are you gonna hear the owl so you can spot it?

There are wood thrushes at Oshtemo now. They harmonize with themselves in their bird call. That's the music I'm after on the course.
