Loud Music is Fine, Wearing a Shirt is Optional

2) So, if two pairs are matched up one the first tee, does one pair have a veto to prevent music?

While I'm pretty consistently against music and for a dress code on the course, I find it amusing how many of those who say they don't care about either, then go on to qualify what they mean.
So they're not really much more open minded, they just have their own preferences.

Looks like there are a lot of birds in the naturalized areas of the course.
Interesting, the small birds that were attacking the hawk - it turns out that's actually pretty common behaviour in nature. "Mobbing". Interesting, even though the hawk could have grabbed any of the birds and tore them in half it just took the abuse. I guess in nature they don't kill except to eat. Very pure.

Weird observation. At least 50% of the carts I've come across that have been playing loud music, were also taking part in a little Mary Jane. Coincidence?
What's wrong with wearing earbuds? I love music...... however.
Any psychologists on board that can explain why people need other people to hear their music? Are they just sharing type people? Come to think of it, they weren't sharing their hooch either. Guess I answered my question. Greedy Ba$tards!

who gives a rats behind what the other guy is wearing ? Why is anyone staring at the bare chest of a guy in a different 4some ?

This is one of those things that depends on club culture. I was a member of a very rural club once and it was not uncommon for us to go from the pool to the 10th tee, still wearing swim trunks and with no shirt on. Play 2 or 3 holes barefooted. The pro once drove his car out onto the driving range and had Superfly by Curtis Mayfield blasting from the speakers. Another member had his own cart with a wired in AM/FM radio; if you were playing with him in some afternoon round, just tooling around, he had music pumping out. So, all that was accepted there.
In the same sense, I was waiting around the first tee at Bethpage Black once and a guy was waiting to get on the tee wearing a set of gray cargo sweatpants. That's an accepted thing there. Just like at some clubs it's a mandate to wear a jacket and tie in the dining room.

And, just like issues regarding pace of play, do whatever you want to (within reason) as long as it does not adversely affect others on the course.
I have no real problem with having music while on the course. However, given that people can get music just about anywhere else (cars, home, work, on their phones/computers, etc.), why is it necessary to have it while out playing? Isn't the golf course one of those few places where a little bit of peace is part of the experience? Would going without music for 3+ hours really be a hardship? I would hope not.
In any case, if I were paired up with someone who absolutely insisted on having excessively loud music, then I would just decline and play elsewhere. Not a big deal worth ruining their round or my own.

Originally posted by ChasingPar View PostPlayed yesterday at Glen Eagle with some kind of tournament taking place. Lots of wild roars as putts dropped, like the Ryder Cup. On two occasions, encountered participants playing loud music through speakers on their golf carts. It was hip-hop, featuring some colourful language. One music loving group also felt no need to wear shirts. Perhaps golf is more enjoyable if you play bare chested.
What do you think about music on the golf course? Yea or nay?
I won't ask about shirts; if McDonald's requires them, I think we can agree that golf courses should too.
