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.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
