Golf Sunglasses

I have heard it bothers with your perception of the greens when you wear sunglasses playing golf. Is this true or do you find it does not bother you at all?

I wear prescription shades when I play. I have very dry eyes so I need the protection from the wind not to mention the sun. Sun can do a lot of damage to your eyes.

I did have a pair of off the shelf shades (cheap) and I noticed while on the tee one day the ground looked like it was slopping up behind the ball. I didn't wear those anymore for golf.

I'm looking into sunglasses, and I'm down to these two. The NYX are carbon frames with yellow, grey, and dark lenses, adn the Tifosi Tyrants have smoke polarized, red and yellow lenses. Which are better for golf?

Polarized lenses are not necessarily what you need for golf, they work best on water by blocking out glare. The most important thing you need is something with optical clarity and for that Oakley is the best. I have been through a truck they have that demonstrates all of their technology and it's amazing. I think they have some of the presentation on their web site.

I've read conflicting opinions on this. Some say polarized lenses make it easier to see the golf ball, and improves your game. Others say it makes it harder to read the contours of the course, especially the greens. What do you think?

Hi Tim,

I've been using golf sunglasses for a number of years and it is well known amongst the better players that polarized lenses are very bad for their distortion factor. Particularly when reading greens and when judging contours. Try Oakley glasses!

Im a caddy/ forecaddy and sometimes its hard to watch the eniter flightpath of a ball, especially just as it passes over your head and on days where there are clouds, even on sunny days. The worst thing obviously for caddies to do is to lose a ball. So would sunglasses help see the ball or is there a better way

Sun glasses are definitely a plus for following golf ball flight paths. As an " on course official "with the state golf association, we are stationed at spots on the course where wild shots may be lost or get into trouble.I have found that sun glasses are an asset. Those teeing from a tee box with a green back ground hit shots which are much easier to follow than those with the " blue sky " background.
