I just saw these glasses at my local Bed, Bath & Beyond.

I am curious if these actually work or if they are just another "As seen on TV" shtick that barely works. Anyone ever try these or have them?

Let's see... a golf accessory at Bed, Bath and Beyond... does that tell you anything?

They are trying to get unknowing wives to buy them as a gift for the hubby... something else to hide away in the garage or basement and and hope that the wife never catches on that you aren't using it.

Here's a website for the product.

Now if they actually work the way the graphic shows, I can see how they could help. I have color vision problems (colorblind...if you will) and do have problems seeing the ball at times when nestled down. Yellow balls seem to work better for me, but not many manufacturers make them.

Either that technology works or it doesn't. If it doesn't, who cares.

If it does, glasses are a bit bulky - I'd look into this solution for $6.99 ** shipped **

This product is similar to the stick used to get balls from the water. I would save the money and use it toward a new box of balls in my humble opinion.

^ The only difference is that the stick is to save money, and the optical filter is designed to find balls that are *in play*, saving you a stroke.

    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
