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.
