  I've just started listening to music whilst hacking around the great courses on offer from WGT. its actually improved my mood and sometimes my final result in a round. also, ( for me ) it takes the frustration out of the game. i listen to the  ' Beach Boys ' a lot as i always find my shots end up in bunkers. thought it would be fun to find out whether other members listen to music when playing WGT and what songs they choose to play. if you don't listen to music when playing perhaps try it. works for me.

  Hi disclover - Fellow Jeff Beck fan,

  Yeh - I have that CD and its great. The guy has reinvented himself over the last few years and is without doubt one of the best. Always has been mind you.

  As for playing music whilst playing a round ?? I love music, but I think I would get distracted - listening more to the music than getting my calcs right lol.

  Cheers

  Doug

  In real life, when I play practice rounds by myself I wear earbuds and listen to music on my mp3 player.  Two of the songs I play are golf related... "A little Bit is Better than Nada" from Tin Cup and "Ooh La La" by Faces which was featured in a Tiger Woods commercial several years ago.

  Playing WGT I'll listen to:

  - Reggae for Kiawah

  - Scottish bagpipes for St. Andrews

  - Spanish Flamenco for Bethpage Black

  - Latin Music for Oakmont

  I mainly listen to internet radio while playing, it could be Majesty radio, or praise and worship, 247polkaheaven, or even death metal. Sometimes I will play a CD of Tony Bennett or of the psalms being narrated with background music.

  I use Last.FM personally.  Not when playing, but just in general.  It's a pretty nice free online service.

  There is nothing better than some great Jazz while I'm playing. John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Dave Brubeck...
