Reply To: Music and beer ?

I believe ear pods are against USGA rules and WAM rules. A few years back, a player in my flight was turned in after doing it for 3 rounds and was penalized (I think) 2 strokes per the first three rounds, being 6 strokes before the final round.

The rules are a little hard to interpret but here is a good article. I would highly recommend if someone in your foursome objects, just unplug and enjoy the sound of nature and conversation with your fellow competitors during any tournament round.
