Music for golf videos

[John_Findlay]

Looking for some assistance chaps and chapettes.

Can anyone suggest some decent music tracks to go with future homemade golf vids? Anything I have seems to be too slow or inappropriate. The Coldplay "Viva la Vida" one for the Goswick video went down well and the Bare Naked Ladies "Pinch Me" is good too but it's banned from YouTube at the moment it seems.

Something happy would be good. Come on. Thinking caps on. And a link to the song on YouTube helps if not well known. Any help appreciated.

Sam Snead used to whistle waltz tunes as he played his round. The rhythm helped him with his swing tempo.

Works really well on sports films, remember it from a surfing video years ago.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Some good ones, some not so good (you know who you are- go to the back of the class!).

It's a rhythm and tempo thing, I think. Some tunes go with golf vids really well and it helps if the lyrics fit. Don't really want a weathery theme. Something with a bit of drama maybe or even lyricless if needs be.

Sky Sports seem to be a good source, with all their little golf montages. If anyone hears a good one give me a shout. Blatant plagarism acceptable

it's all about synching isn't it? 1812 would work if the timing was right.
