Quote: You would be surprised. I played golf a couple weeks ago and it was in the 90s. I bet I had 6 bottles of water in a 4 hour period and a soda before and another at the turn and I never did go to the bathroom.
I am suprised. Suprised that any self respecting guy drank water instead of beer while golfing

Golfing is not for beer, golfing is for beating your best score, taking money from your buddies or testing the outer limits of your frustration level. The 19th hole is for beer, unless of course you just like to pee on the trees.

FIFY.
Step one: load cart with beer. Step two: radio station integrity between the carts. Step three: golf.
I golf for fun, my dreams of making the tour are long gone. My club had a guy that played The Masters as an amateur (our paperboy when he was a kid) and another my age that became a touring pro. At least I know my limitations.
It's like saying that you can't pound a nail or paint a wall with music in the background. Try it one time with a bucket of balls; a crow cawing in your backswing or a droning mower is more distracting IMHO.
Quote: I've never understood why golf needs to be such a "quiet" game.
As a courtesy to the other players. It's a gentleman's sport and as such you do not do anything that may affect your playing partners while they execute their swings.

Or others on the course, hence my comments on listening to radio.
Quote: Right...I get that, it just seems that if you concentrate on your swing, the noise level shouldn't matter.
It's not so much constant noise, but random noises. Listening to a radio really wouldn't affect anyones game. A golf cart backfiring 50 yards away on a quiet course could throw your swing off.

So could this:

Oh, please. Can you swing if a greenskeeper is mowing around the previous green as you tee off on the next hole, or do you insist on absolute silence? The radio isn't a "surprise" noise in the middle of your backswing.
You can't hear my little $5 Radio Shack transistor radio outside of 20 yards, but I can hear your group all moan in unison when you lip out your birdie putt for a skin, right in the middle of my swing on the next hole. But somehow you think the radio you can't hear is more distracting.
I was given the nickname as a young boy. My real name is David (Divot) and I grew up on a golf course, literally. Our house was on the course and I spent all day, from the time I woke up until dark, on the course with my friends. If someone said they couldn't golf because he heard some music in the background we would have laughed and given him directions to the bowling alley.

None the less....radios are taboo.
If you lived as close to a course as you say, you would know this.
Just saying......
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
I'm just wondering why cell phones aren't in this taboo category. I couldn't begin to count the number of carts I've heard ringing and for the guy who stands on the green, leaning against his putter while his playing partners putt out, castration sounds about right.

Our house was on the golf course. Leave yard, enter 17th hole.
I have played hundreds of golf courses all over the country and seen many rules: no personal coolers, no cell phones, no alcohol, etc. I have never seen a course that said no radios.
My current home course has hosted 2 US Opens and doesn't have this policy. Please show me one course with a "no radio" policy.

Of course I like peeing on the trees, doesn't everybody and in golf just like playing pool I seem to play better after a few cold ones.
