Hi Everyone!,

I wonder if there are some of you listen to music, audio books etc when you are working in the golf? I find myself on being able to hear the sound out of the hit because they give the response how to hit the ball. I think the times when you practice putting or chipping so I sometimes miss having something to listen to. What encourages you to headphones for the context? They're not supposed to destroy the swing.

What I first think of is the bluetooth hands free but there should be a pair of sensible wire too? Anyone who have any idea?

Jaybird bluebuds x. I use them all the time at the range, just keep the phone in your bag. Range is pretty strong indoors or partially covered, gets a bit worse outdoors, but probably has about 60 feet or so outdoors, maybe twice that indoors. They easily synch and have about 5 hours of battery life.

I checked them and they seem very good. However, the price tag is a little too high for me and was wondering if there are options for a lower price?

Then maybe they are my prejudices but like bluetooth guzzle battery power.

Get a belt clip for your mp3 player or phone, and just clip it to your belt behind your back. Then the cord wont get caught in your swing.

I feed the headphone cord under my shirt and just put my iPhone in my pocket. Never had any problems.

How do you do it? Do you take headphones behind your back? How do you make so they do not disturb you when to swing? I really want to know how you do that :)

If you don't like the cord against your skin, just wear an undershirt, and run the cord between the two shirts.

Put your phone or whatever in a pocket. Thread the cord up your shirt and pop it out through your neck hole.

I do this when I run, too.

This. Plug the headphones into my iPhone. Plug headphones into ears. Slide iPhone down the front of my shirt, over my undershirt. Pull it out the bottom of my shirt. Put iPhone in pocket. I guess it would be tougher if I were tucking my shirt in, but my driving range doesn't require it, so I don't.

Depends on the situation. Sometimes I use in-ear canal headphones, mostly not to disturb others. I don't mind the amplification of my bodily noises and moving. I wrap the cord around the smartphone until there is little slack.

Sometimes I just play whatever through the smartphone speakers.

Sometimes I use this, sans the Gangnam style:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
