If you’re going to listen to music on the course, here are the best ways to do it
Listening to music on the golf course is a bit of a controversial topic. Traditional golfers like to take in the natural soundtrack of the outdoors and may even consider music distracting to their play. However, listening to some light tunes on the course can be a great way to make your rounds more enjoyable, if it’s the right environment, and many golfers enjoy using wireless headphones to listen to their favorite songs while warming up, which is welcome at any driving range. Here are six of the best speakers and headphones that are great for the golf course.
