I have been on the lookout for a decent pair of sunglasses to use while on the course, but have not been able to find any decent pair that won't put a dent in my wallet.
For those of you who wear them, what recommendations do you have for me...

I have always been a fan of Arnette's. They have polarized models that normally run about $80-90 maximum. I have two pairs (black and brown) and love them both. High quality w/o the high price tag.

I wear NYX Golf sunglasses and have always liked them. They are wraparound, which I like a lot, and have interchangable lenses which is great for changing out during different times of year. I have 2 pair and only paid about $50 for both. I got them on some eBay store.

Im aware oakley's are somewhat expensive, but they definitley are worth it in the long run. Ive broke countless pairs of cheaper generic name sunglasses and eventually just broke down and bought the oakley's.
I have polarized Minute 2.0's and a pair of Half Jacket's. The half jacket's are great since you can change out the lenses according to weather conditions.

Smith Sliders. www.smithoptics.com They come with several different color interchangable lenses...depending on the conditions. I have a pair with some Polarized lenses for sunny days. Orange for more cloudy and overcast and some Yellow during rain and late in the day to brighten things up. The nice thing is that you get 3 glasses in 1 frame.

They can run upwards of $100, but if you go to www.campmor.com you can find them on clearance very frequently for around $40

I wanted to try sunglasses for golf last year, now I'll never go back! Definitely useful to protect my eyes. I found a pair of Sundogs which have been great. The lenses are not polarized, they are just grey, but they provide enough clarity to comfortably play a round. They were originally $50. The one thing that I have noticed is that the straight earpiece is just barely long enough to rest on my hat while on. I have noticed that Oakleys, on Poulter and Annika have plently of length in the ear-thing, to go over and rest on his visor or hat.

imho, Oakley and Bolle are the the best sunglasses you can buy. The lenses both of these companies use can't be beat for optical clarity, throw in the multitude of frame choices and it's a no brainer.

Every time I buy a cheap pair of glasses I lose them or break them, but if I drop a $100+ on a pair I make damn sure I know where they are at all times.

Had Bolle in the past and liked them.

Last Christmas I got the Oakley 'Radar Pitch' model and love them. I have 2 sets of lenses, one dark for summer and a lighter lens I wear in Spring/Fall/Winter. They are worth more, but I think they are worth it in quality. As an earlier post said, I always know where they are.

Well my mother's a sales rep for a sunglasses company so I get as many as I want free but I'd just suggest getting something expensive enough to ensure that they aren't actually damaging your eyes and something that's comfortable that won't move around on your face when you swing a club. I don't see the point of dropping a lot of money on sunglasses. As long as they aren't dirt cheap the protection you get from a $20 pair and those $200 Oakleys will be exactly the same and any pair of sunglasses will last if you look after them well enough.

Weighing only 25 grams, the Ventoux T-G570 sunglasses have adjustable nose and earpieces, ventilated lens and 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. They come with three interchangeable lenses, including a smoke green tint to help see the ball in flight and purple tint to spot subtle breaks on the green.

These are only $60 and sound great

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
