I have a pair of Flak Jacket XLJ with the Gold Iridium lenses that I've been using for about a year now. The reason I wear them has nothing to do with them helping me on the course or for clarity/contrast issues but instead just to protect my eyes from UV rays.

I realized when I got my Oakleys how much I had been squinting in the sun previously. I remember how relaxed the muscles in my face were the first day I wore them. I wear them almost all the time if I'm driving or outdoors, and feel uncomfortable in the sun without them on now.

In my C-130 bag:

Driver: G10 10.5*
3 Wood: Burner
Irons: G10 steel AWT shafts, silver dot, +1" (3-SW)Wedge: cg12 58*Putters: Squareback 2, California Coronado Low score (18 holes): 90Low score (9 holes): 42

I wear Oakley half jackets....except when I'm golfing. For some reason I golf worse with sun glasses on (depth perception loss, I suspect) plus I'm never comfortable wearing a hat and sunglasses together. The golf lenses do make me wonder if I should try sunglasses on while golfing again (and just put up with being a little less comfortable).

What's in my bag?

I've had the Oakley Juliet Ducati for probably 4-5 years now, and have just replaced the stock lenses in them within the past 6-8 months. I went with the black iridium polarized, and now wish I had switched to a polarized lens a long time ago. I've worn them doing anything from golf to fishing to riding jet skis to biking. I dont go anywhere without them.

I used to wear oakleys, say in the early 1990's when I was racing bicycles....had interchangeable lenses for different kinds of weather. I then changed them out for Bolle's, with interchangeable lensa plus a preceription lense on the nosepiece. it was great for those 100 mile bicycle rides.

Now, with progressive lenses, I got a pair of WyleyX P-17's. They wrap around so the sun does'nt sneak in and blind you when your are teeing it up.

Ive been wearing oakleys since I was a BMX riding teenager, today (almost 10 years later) I own the minute (not 2.0) and half jacket

Oakley is awesome. I worn a pair of prescription Oakley sunglasses provided by my optician two years ago. I want to advise those people not to go for cheap sunglasses for the reason they think the glasses are trendy. Those cheap inferior sunglasses are actually damaging their eyes.

Agreed, You can go cheap with balls, But don't go cheap with your eye balls

I have been wearing some old e wires recently and seeing better scores after reading some articles about wearing glasses can aid concentration and focus, the only problem with them is getting them to feel comfortable when wearing a cap.

Straight jacket and square wires, both with black iridium lenses - I like the straight jackets better, but truthfully it's whatever I grab/happens to be in my car when I'm going to the course. Only downside is the f'ed up tan line I end up with on my face

    • It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well. 
    • A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf  
    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
