Dark grey polarized, single vision, don't think I could handle tri-focals playing.  No depth perception issues for me.

Just bought my first pair of Prescription Sunglasses and wore them a few weeks ago on annual golf trip to AZ.  Mine are polarized with dark grey lens.

Since I am far sighted,I could finally see my ball flight all the way in the sun. Definitely worth the investment and insurance paid most of cost.

As someone who's had both. Prescription sunglasses just OWN transitions. For one thing, they cover more area, so you don't end up with side glare. I just got a prescription pair of Oakley's, can't wait to try them out on the course.

I just got a pair of prescription Oakley's as well. What frame and lens tint did you get?

These, pretty much as they look. I didn't get the option to have the lenses look shiny on the outside. So they have a more matte finish. I believe they have antiglare on both the outside and inside of the lenses so I don't get glare on the inside when the sun is behind me.

I got the exact same except different lenses. They're awesome, can't wait to try them out as well.

I wear contacts when I play, so that I can take my sunglasses on and off without hindering my ability to see. :)

My sunglasses are polarized, though.

I use to have progressive prescription sun glasses but didn't like the fact while driving that I still saw glare outside the car.   I switched to regular polarized prescription glasses which are great for driving a car but I think they do affect my depth perception on the golf course.    I just wear my regular bifocal glasses.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
