I don't have a good pair of sunglasses for golf, and figured I should buy some since my eyes have been bothering me on certain days out there. Looking to spend under $50 if possible. Thanks

I should add that I must have a narrow face as well, because a lot of sunglasses look to big on me.

I personally like polarized glasses. Helps me read putts better. Not sure if others have the same experience as I do but seems to help. As for cheap brand of polarized not sure, google it??

Check out some Tifosi Sunglasses, I used them until I picked up a pair of Oakley's with the G30 Lenses in them. Tifosi does offer specific lenses for golf.

I am looking for a pair as well, what is everyone here using?

Wheels, the Tifosi glasses seem nice. Do you like the Oakley's better?

I really really really like Callaway glasses. Those Neox (sp?) lenses really help me keep track of the ball in in flight and when looking for it in the rough/tall grass.

I do really like the Oakleys, The G30 lens is by far the best golf specific lens I have used. I've grown accustomed to wearing sunglasses while playing, and the G30 lens works great even in cloudy conditions. Everything seems more more defined and clearer with them on. The Oakley Flak Jackets have interchangeable lenses so it's very easy to swap them out with other lenses for other uses.

The Tifosi sunglasses I had before my Oakleys were also very good; however, I left them on a course while on vacation. If you don't feel like dropping 100+ on a pair of Oakleys you can't go wrong with Tifosi.

Like Groovezilla mentioned the Callaway sunglasses out there do a very nice job of picking up the ball, the pair of callaways I have are wireframed and do not stay on my head very well while swinging so I don't wear them on the course that often. They provide more of a greenish tint to what you see whereas the G30 lens Oakley has will make things slightly pinkish, but you do grow accustomed to both of them within a minute or two.

If you want polarized, Tifosi and Sundog are great. If you don't care for polarization or don't want to pay for it, if you can find Maxx Golf sunglasses at golf courses they are great (and great looking) sunglasses for $20.

I second this.....

I bought a pair of Tifosi glasses with the tennis/golf lenses. These are the best sun glasses I have ever owned......which were Dragon, Oakley, Ray Ban, Utopia, Spy and Bolle. I liked them so much I got a pair of RX lenses with the same Tennis/Golf tint and WOW. These are great! The RX service was fast and exact.

Agreed with all said above. I have a pair of Tifosi Forza with prescription GT lenses. Best sunglasses I've ever had. I also have a very narrow face and they wrap around my face nice and snug but are incredibly comfortable. I often wear them for an entire round of golf and never take them off, sometimes I don't realize I have them on! These are also great glasses for bicycle riding too, since they fit so close to my face and offer great bug protection.

What's in my bag (most of the time)

Exotics CB1 4W, 16.5°, Fujikura Stiff

I would never buy another brand other than Oakley. They make the best quality, best looking and most comfortable sunglasses money can buy.

I wish I could still wear my M frames, unfortunately my eyesite got so poor that I couldn't see the ball in the air anymore without regular glasses. And my eyesight is bad enough that I can't get prescription oakley sunglasses either, major bummer. Still have my M frames though, in case I ever try contacts or look into LASIK. But spending the extra cash on Oakleys is WELL worth the price.

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      By iacas ·

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
