Walk Up music comes to the Web.com Tour

And there's a nice little twist as well

There’s some innovative thinking coming out of the Web.com Tour’s Digital Ally Open. It’s Walk Up music.

If this is a concept that you are unfamiliar with, Walk Up music is already well established in Major League Baseball, and when a new player comes into bat he is accompanied with a blast of his chosen tune.

But this is a first for golf, and they’ve got nice little twist to it as well. Music will be played on the Par 3 seventeenth hole, but it will only be the player who knocks his ball closest to the hole who gets his nominated tune played.

It all started with a tweet sent on Wednesday morning by former PGA Tour regular Scott Langley:

And this is what he came up with:

The work of Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock) is not very familiar to us at GP Towers, but a little digging uncovered this:

And here's Shania Twain:

It's clearly a song for a golfer who is confident about his own sexuality.

This is a rich seam of creative territory. We will start the ball rolling with a bit of Old Skool , and Bing Crosby's  'Straight down the middle.'
