Sunglasses

Rudy Project here in Asia is big... I use Rudy Project Golf. Enhnaces the green as well. Not for putting though.

I have the Oakley half jackets (golf array) and prior to that the oakley M frames. I have never had a complaint. I want to try next the polarized lenses for my half jackets.

can't go wrong with Oakley Half Jackets with the polarized lenses, great in most golfing conditions.

Am I the only one who can't wear Oakleys? Haven't been able to ever since they went to the straight temples...the feel like they pop up on me and don't sit down on my nose. Pretty happy with my Bolle glasses, they have polarized lenses, and they were pretty cheap at Costco (around $60, iirc).

Rudy Project for me, I need a prescription lens and these are perfect......also you scratch the replacement lens....send it back to Rudy Project and they send you an identical replacement....just pay for shipping. Try to get that from Oakley

How about sundog. I do not own a pair but have heard several good things about them. http://www.sundogeyewear.com/eyewear_golf.html

Does anyone wear sunglasses while playing?

If so, what kind, and do you keep them on for putting?

[ChicagoGolfer]

I wear Maui Jim sunglasses while playing.

I had laser surgery done and just want to be vain and wear sunglasses whenever I can, plus the bright light does affect me a bit. I do keep the sunglasses on when I putt. I keep my glove on as well when I putt, but this is due to lazyness more than anything.

Here is a recent thread on sunglasses

I wear cheapo walmart glass but I make sure I get polarized ones. Not that they matter on the course, but I'm on the lake and river alot in the summer and I tend to lose the good ones in the water, I have yet to lose a cheap pair, go figure.

I have to have my sunglasses, my eyes are really sensitive to the light. I don't have a preferance as long as they are polarized.

I hate it to play with sunglasses, but in Winter and Spring when the Sun is low I have to use them. I Wear my normal RayBan Glasses but I feel them on my ears and nose after 2 Hours of Golf and then they start to disturb me more then the low Sun.

So whenever possible I try not to wear them.

I do not really like the feel of sunglasses but I do wear them everytime I play.. Where I am from, the sun can be hot and bright. This is more to protect my eyes from UV rays and sorts. Sun rays can do damage due to regular exposure.

I own a pair of Bolle and a pair of Rudy Project Freeon for golf.

Only when the sun is out.

Mine are clip-ons that fit my prescription glasses.

[niblick]

I wear Rudy Project Kerosenes. They're light and the optics are fantastic.

The effects of the sun, especially for those that play alot, shouldn't be underestimated. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are must-haves.

And yeah, I wear them while putting. I typically forget they're on, and they stay on the whole round.

[Mikeland]

I wear Oakley "Half Jackets" everywhere... They really help sharpen things when I'm playing.

[iacas]

I'm picking up my pair tomorrow.

I wear Silhouette glasses and don't want clip-ons. So I ordered a second set of lenses for my current glasses (along with a new pair of glasses) in brown. So, in a month, I'll see how they work out.

I've never found a pair of prescription sunglasses that work really well. I have longer eyelashes, so the ones that hug the face don't feel right, and others have had optical issues (the ball looked four inches closer to me, etc.).

I wear the Oakley Thumps so that I can listen to music without headphone cords getting in the way when I practice and play by myself. When I wear them playing I flip up the lens when putting though.
