Ampcaddy speakerĪ few of the better choices include Puma Golf’s Soundchuck Mini Bluetooth speaker, which is available in Rickie Fowler orange and hooks to your bag with a nifty carabiner. And those who want to tune in while playing have a lot of good options, from simple Bluetooth speakers designed to fit into cup holders to elaborate sound systems for their personal golf carts. I guess it’s up to the player or tournament committee to decide which is which.Īt the end of the day, the average recreational golfer probably doesn’t give a hoot about Rule 4.3a(4). It goes on to say, however, that “Listening to music or other audio to eliminate distractions or to help with swing tempo,” is not allowed. See Rule 1.2,” (the section governing player conduct). It adds that “…in doing so, consideration should be shown to others. Rule 4.3a(4) states that “Listening to audio or watching video on matters unrelated to the competition being played (such as a news report or background music)” is allowed.

The Bethpage State Park courses in New York, for example, earned applause from music-loving patrons when they equipped their cart fleet with Bluetooth speakers.
But in the U.S., at least, it’s a trend that has found a following. Opponents cite the blaring boom box in the golf bag of Caddyshack’s Al Czervik and say that music spoils their good walk spoiled.
Proponents of the trend say it makes golf more fun. Today, golfers are just as likely to be listening to the latest release from Drake as the bucolic quacking of wood ducks. It used to be that all you’d hear on a golf course was birds chirping, brooks babbling, and human voices chatting-or cursing.
