Choice of drive time music on the way to the club...

[vkurup]

What is your choice of music on the way to the first tee....

1) Would you want something that is peppy and perks you up or do you go for something more soothing/jazz to help relax

2) Does it change depending on situation... relaxed one for the sunday four ball, but something peppy for monthly medal

3) Anyone young enuf for OneDirection type songs?


My choice is usually just listening to Radio 1... My home to club is about 6 mins, so almost makes no difference to me..

Currently got the Rush album Counterparts in the CD player....
A couple of tracks in particular seem to have the right tempo for my golf....
Sometimes a bit of the Manics, sometimes some Foo Fighters if I need to be ruthless!!

My brother can't believe there is a forum on playing golf (he doesn't play golf, how could he possibly understand? )
If I tell him about this or the "which room do you store your golf stuff in" I will never hear the end of it. Didn't dare mention the where not to stand thread!
Hate to admit it, but the best round I had in years was played just after I heard "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt on the radio as I drove into the car park. It was in my head all the way round. must have the right tempo or something.

This is a serious thread.... but we are getting to that time of the year where the OOB section gets more hits than the Lounge..

Hugh Lauries Let Them Talk, have it in the car all the time, put on a couple of favorite tracks on the way to the club and sets me in a good mood.

Radio 4.


Unless it's a County League match in which case I play a CD so pompous that I dare not name it in case I get laughed out of the fourm

Have a listen to Aquaplanage - nice bot of modern prog rock of the 1970s style

Posting it seriously makes it even more worrying ?!?

It's only a game of golf

What next - which sock is put on first ?!

You mean the order of sock pulling on ISN'T important???

Who'd have thought...

Nowhere near as important as which shoe lace is tied up first - that's critical !

iPod on random but like you I'm only six minutes door-to-door so I wouldn't get through Hey Jude!

Left sock on first but right shoe on first and tied before left shoe gets to see my freshly socked up foot.

bit of hard house, house music (carl cox) and a bit of Coldplay. In that order, gets the juices flowing.

Whatever is on The Breeze radio station and not loud never been a lover of music even though I was a singer in pubs and clubs for 10 yrs

 

[chrisd]

I played today at Sundridge Park with Leftie, Justone and Smiffy so I listened to an hour of the blues on the way up to get me in the mood!

 

[BrizoH71]

Iron Maiden or other metal .. I need something aggressive to get me pumped.

 

[3565]

It's got to be hard and heavy for me, Hellyeah, Machine Head, NIN, Crue, nothing soothing or relaxing.

Great thread, better then hearing someone bleating on all the time 'it's only a game'

I always put on one sock first, before the other. Left if the course is mostly uphill and narrow, and right if it's a bit of more of a blasting course. It's the same with my shoelaces. I always do socks before shoes. I am thinking of going to American Golf to have a sock fitting. (What's the difference between a sock, and a golf sock? About £20.)

With respect to music, I'm looking for a new golf thinking pro with a music background who I can pay to give me a playlist. I'm expecting it to add 20 yards off the tee (when it induces an adrenaline rush) and to shave off half a dozen putts by calming me down.
