"Anyway You Want It" by Journey. Only Caddyshack fans will understand, which I am sure most of us are. I actually can't listen to music while golfing. Throws off my concentration.

Rap music or Rock before a round. During? LOL... I don't have one of those Rodney Dangerfield mega bags so... I don't listen to anything during a round. After the round, same as before although the intensity level can fluctuate depending on how well I played

This is an interesting topic. I recently found that I've played my best rounds when I had a tune going through my head. I think it may be calming - better to be humming along to a song than over-thinking about my swing. So...lately I've been listening to anything with a catchy tune or repeating chorus that I can get stuck in my head before a round.

Lots of hair metal and some select new tunes. I also wear my IPOD when I play alone.

I often listen to music when I warm up before a round. It helps get the blood flowing and since I don't have to concentrate too hard its not overly distracting. I can't listen to music during a round or while practicing because I can't concentrate.

I listen to whatever's on my MP3 player during the drive to the golf course. Sometimes I catch humming the tune to some random Metallica song whilst on the golf course...dont know the effect on my game, though.

Wow! So many different types of tunes. Quite interesting

I often listen to smooth jazz on the way to practice or play as I feel it sets the mood. I am an "A" type personality and can tend to play to aggressively so I am working on dialing it back a bit and when I do I score better. I feel like it helps my tempo.

Here is a possible list of who I may listen too:

Paul Hardcastle (greatest musican alive today)
Boney James
Rick Braun
David Sanborn

Cool thread...

TEE - XCG6, 13º, Matrix Ozik HD6.1, stiff
Wilson Staff - Ci11, 3-SW, TX Fligthed, stiff

Odyssey - Metal X #7, 35in

Wilson Staff - FG Tour ball

On the way I listen to XM Radio on the 90s channel. But I like the jazz aspect. Maybe it will calm me down some, since I get amped during the round. Maybe some Dave Brubeck... I will give that a try.

Cool thread, next to golf music is a big part of my life. Mostly Rock, I always have some Metallica in my Mp4 player. Right now.. The Stooges new album which is great, Priestess, Seether, Amy Winehouse.

If my mp4 player isnt charged I'll listen to classic rock on the radio. All that stuff is good.

Oakley Thumps are great for the range and the course when I play alone. I have been listening to the new Linkin Park CD - Minutes To Midnight great cd. The thumps are great because there are no cords to mess with you just flip them down or up.

Before I listen to some Death Metal... if you don't listen to it you wouldn't understand. It just gets me going.

After the round I usually bust out the classic rock, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Cocker etc.

      Instructional Video Critique Topic

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I am six and a half minutes into this video and honestly don't think I can handle any more of it. I do see some of my swing in his - sucks it inside and gets across the line at the top. He also looks like he comes OTT a little, but is then very in to out. That's probably my cluelessness about the swing showing up though. Did I hear him say he's 15* in to out? That's insane and not something I would think anyone would want to do. I'm surprised he put this out there if his goal is to sell his method to other people, you'd think he'd find someone good who uses it to model it, not himself.

      I think that would fall under the general umbrella of "kinematics".  And I'm sure that @iacas will correct me if I'm wrong, but in many cases the handle will be almost motionless by the time the clubhead impacts the ball.

      Physics

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I don't think it is called anything singularly specific in scientific terms other than how you described it. Some might call it a pendulum motion or something but that's probably super simplistic and not adequate description/definition. Of course, there's a whole gamut/combo of causal physics, biomechanics and geometry that results in the phenomenon.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      As Erik says, he can correct the Wrong Place mistake by replacing the ball in its original location, see 14.5a, as long as he does it before making a Stroke at the ball.    I agree, and that's one of the worst aspects of being a rules official.  But its also an important part, I'm sure that player learned that one rule pretty clearly, and hopefully has learned to read the NTP and listen on the first tee.
