Does anyone use those blue lens golf sunglasses? I just bought a pair and haven't tried them yet. Do they improve anything?

Bolle makes a similar product.  Its supposed to make certain colors stand out more than others.  For golf it makes white stand out and they have a pair for tennis that makes the yellow ball stand out.

I use my Oakley M Frames for almost every thing. Golf, shooting, sports, etc.

Great sunglasses. Oakley usually has golf-specific lenses as well.

I coulda sworn I left the cart right here......

I've got some gray polarized clip-ons which are made designed to fit my prescription glasses frames. Seems to cut down on eye strain.

Only problem: On white-cloudy days, contrast of ball against sky not much, can be hard to track. On bluer days, constrast is excellent!

Anybody have experience with amber-colored sunglasses? (These are popular with rifle and pistol shooters)

Focus, connect and follow through!

They increase contrast really well. I use them for shooting, paintball, and I used to use them for golf in high school. I don't have any at the moment, but they do work very well for contrast, so the ball will show up very well against a grey sky.

      How Would You Play This Hole? (Hole #10 at TPC Louisiana)

      By GolfLug ·

      Okay, I had these two assumptions wrong. That would be my premise for hitting driver. I promise I'm not high.. lol. Fair enough.

      How Would You Play This Hole? (Hole #10 at TPC Louisiana)

      By klineka ·

      Wider than most fairways, yes (thus why I don't hit 100% of my fairways), but most holes I play have 65+ yds between hazards (or areas where I can't easily advance my ball to nGIR) so the majority of the time when I hit driver I am able to find it and have a reasonable look at the green.  That would not necessarily be the case on this hole, especially because a mishit driver brings those left trees into play.   PGA Tour players average 2.82 strokes to hole out from 40yds in the bunker and 3.15 strokes to hole out from 60yds in the bunker.  2.82 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 110yds and 3.15 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 190yds.  Now granted I would only have that 50yd bunker shot 1/3 of the time, but it's still a VERY difficult shot especially for amateurs.   Haha trust me I love chasing birdies, but I'm averaging 2.78 birdies per round this year so that's not my issue, I need to make less bogies (5.2 per round) and doubles (0.42 per round)

      Vishal, what are you doing here? PGA Tour players are about 65 yards wide, often 70. Huh? A 50-yard bunker shot is one of the toughest shots in golf. Are you okay? 🤣

      Day 608, July 3, 2024 Played 18 holes with a student. White tees. Wasn't really working on my stuff, but hit some really good shots. Drove 16 to the pin-high rough 3" from the fringe. Hit some tremendous long irons.
