SIMON: That satisfying thwack of a driver smacking a dimpled ball into the distance. That sound's the product of a lot of research and a lot of money. Tom Mase would know. He's a professor of mechanical engineering at California Polytechnic State University. Professor, thanks for being with us.
MASE: I think they care because that's part of the sound of golf and knowing that they hit it really well. They want it to go the 300 yards. That's the most important thing. But it's important to hear that sound, and it's also important from manufacturers' point of view at a point of sale.
MASE: Absolutely. You know, back in 1979, Gary Adams came up with the Pittsburgh Persimmon Metal driver, and they tried to make it sound like wood for most of the '80s. And then there was a transition where they said, hey, let's not put in this urethane foam. Let's make it sound - instead of the thwack, let's make it a bing.
MASE: I think the people liked it and enjoyed it more and more until the point that drivers got bigger and bigger and eventually they hit a sound that was not good. And so they put a lot of work into finite element analysis, for stress analysis but also for sound. So they're looking to get certain frequencies of the vibration. And actually some manufacturers can reproduce the sound before a product is even made.
MASE: Yeah. That was in the stages where the drivers were getting bigger and bigger and the natural frequencies of that were just a little too low. I heard it characterized as the sound of hitting the golf ball with a coffee can, and that's not a good thing for the sport.
MASE: I'm afraid I'm an engineer. It's not psychology, but I think that his products are going to be good - the different sounds, drivers will sound a little bit different. There's different internal gussets and ribs. The player needs to just find one that they like and they have confidence in, and between the ears is an important part of this game.

The Golf Hole Microphones were able to gather a wealth of golf sound, from tactical discussions between golfers and caddies to the kinds of nat sounds rarely heard on golf shows, such as the footfalls of golfers approaching the cup on the green and the ball hitting the bottom of the cup.
2. Sound Quality in the Outdoors: Many speakers promise good sound quality but remember that golf courses are expansive open spaces. Some speakers, especially those around 20 watts RMS like the Bushnell Wingman, might deliver good sound but are too heavy to lug around, leaving them bound to the golf cart. In contrast, the lightweight TEAM8 offers both mobility and quality sound, ensuring you're never too far from your tunes or GPS info.
5. Notification Sounds & Phone Calls: A ringing phone or incessant notifications can disrupt a player's concentration. The TEAM8 ensures that your focus remains undisturbed by disabling call and notification sounds while in use. With other brands, you might find the tranquility of your game suddenly broken by an unexpected ringtone.
In conclusion, when choosing a Bluetooth speaker for golf, consider its practicality on the course, its sound quality, and its additional features. The TecTecTec TEAM8 checks these boxes, making it a reliable companion for every golfer.
This little gadget is two things in one, a small Bluetooth speaker that sounds remarkably good for its size, and a GPS (Global Positioning System) that will tell you all about where you are in relation to the hole you are playing.
Really good sound in a small package. Perfect for golf course. Great for giving you an approximate distance to the front, middle, and back of the green. My friends are considering purchasing there own.
Nice little speaker that can clip or magnet onto your bag or cart. Just used for music its got pretty good sound for the size. Even on louder/looser courses it gets more than loud enough to be too much for a golf course. The yardage part is the really cool feature. Paired up with an app you find your golf course and it uses your gps to tell you current distance from various spots. Accuracy so far seems to be pretty dang close and the only issues ive had im pretty sure had to do with phone coverage.
As a speaker, the sound was adequately loud for the size of the speaker. It is hefty, but not too heavy. the magnet is pretty strong and the speaker will stick to just about anything ferrous that you stick it to. The belt clip works well.
The crystal clear sound quality of the speaker makes it easy to hear even in noisy environments. The built-in magnet allows you to attach the speaker to your golf bag, cart, or any metal surface, making it convenient to use.
Overall, the Golf GPS Bluetooth Speaker is a fantastic tool for any golfer. Its smart GPS technology, smartphone compatibility, and clear sound quality make it a great choice for anyone looking to improve their game.
It seems strange that there appears to be nothing to stop this happening and even stranger that no golfer seems affected by it...perhaps because it's almost continuous. There have been occasions when I have actually turned off the sound as it has so strongly affected my enjoyment of the golf.
Two points:
1) The airplane noise you hear on your TV set is not necessarily the same thing the players hear in reality. They use long range mics and these tend to pick up and amplify peripheral sound.
2) A pro tournament golfer that allows airplane noise to bother him probably lacks the focus and mental toughness to be successful.
