I used to listen to my iPod or other MP3 player when I played in HS, but you couldn't do it during matches, and the cords kept getting snagged on stuff or came out mid-swing so I just ended up not doing it anymore :P we used to bring some small speakers to the range though that just ran off the battery in the iPod/MP3 player/Discman :P

I just throw this in the cart and listen as I'm driving around and waiting. Sure helps me relax!

Personally, I couldn't listen to music when I'm hitting at the range. I prefer to be able to hear the sound of the ball strike.

Never have and probably never will. I'm a music enthusiast, so listening to music while playing golf would leave my head fighting over which to focus on. I listen to music all the time, but on the golf course I enjoy the silence and need it to stay focused.

I have to agree with you on that.

I think people have their music turned up way to loud. I practice with music when I'm by myself, but I can still hear the ball strike. It's just some background music for me. Drowns out some of the chatter around me. When I play by myself I will also listen to music. I usually get set up with random people so I take my headphones out when I meet them and keep my music low enough so I can hear them if they ask me something. It would be embarrasing if they asked me something and I replied very loudly because my music was turned up so loud. Again, it's just some background music for me in between shots and while walking/riding.

It is the purest sound on the course....I play golf to get away from everything...me, the course, andmy crappy swing, oh yeah and my beverage of choice.....

It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
