Jammin’ out on the golf course has gone mainstream — but when it comes to playing with bluetooth speakers, The Etiquetteist has some suggestions. Consider the seven maxims that follow the Bluetooth Laws:
BUY-IN
Each member needs to be down for the sound. Ask first.
VOLUME
Public or private, a course ain’t the place for “this one goes to 11.”
GENRE
Choose wisely. Speed metal and syrupy transitions don’t mix.
VERBOTEN
Spoken word; polka; selects from your niece’s bassoon recital; show tunes.
RULES
Music may illegally assist play (Rule 14- 3). Know thy mute button.
THEMES
Nice idea. Perhaps “Sultans of Swing” or “Fly Like an Eagle”?
TAUNTING
Play nice. Jay-Z’s “No Hook”? Cool. Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”? Cruel.
