I've never owned super expensive sunglasses, though I've owned many cheap and medium priced ones.  I've never once owned a pair that if I wore on the course I felt 100% about my depth perception and focus on the ball.  That's why I never wear them on the course, despite the fact that I live in SoCal and wear them pretty much 100% of the time I'm outside off the course.  It's one of the reasons I've taken to wearing a sort of old man style wide brimmed straw hat on the course.  Luckily oldster style hip is sort of in these days (though its moment seems to have passed a bit), so...  Wide brim hat!

I'm with you on that @mdl , I'm not crazy about sunglasses for golf and have always felt that my depth perception is off a little when wearing them.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I borrowed one by father-in-law's wide brimmed hat last time I played. I liked it, but my wife took one look at me, rolled her eyes and immediately walked away shaking her head. I must have looked pretty silly, but who cares? Maybe it was just the hat and I need a cooler, retro one. Can you post a pic of the hat you wear?

Lol. My wife absolutely abhors my golf hat:

I think it's the bomb.

I am looking for a new pair os sunglasses to wear on my face/hat while I play.  The model I use now is real slippery when they get whet and it makes it hard to tell how far away things are when they are moving around on my nose from slickness.  I need some that are more sticky or rap all the way round.  I was playing last night and I went to put down my bag and I dropped down a crevasse and/or sinkwhole because I just couldn't get the distance.  Yeah I know ... Anyway, the experience made me thank a lot about death and being dead and how many people percieve it as the "ULTIMATE" sinkwhole.  I can't help but to thank that is how golf is going with those huge 14" holes.  I would "LOVE" to hear what golfers think about this direction with the new holes from good and serious golfers.  No noob opions please!

I think you are looking in the wrong place.

Tell the model ( who ever she is ) to remove her wet self from your face - as you probably won't find any sunglasses up 'there'

Matt, do you also know when to hold 'em, and when to fold 'em?

Do you know it all the time, or only when wearing the hat?  Just curious.

Seersucker pants white/brown not white/blue.  Linen button down shirt untucked.  FJ spiked sandals.  THAT hat.  Cart girl would lose traction on the path due to the abrupt discharge of... well, you get it.

I assume you mean a Canada Goose.

Any goose that resides in Canada and has citizenship would be a Canadian Goose regardless of species. A Canada Goose however is a Canada Goose regardless of where he/she resides.

And regardless of where he/she defecates. Should be declared illegal aliens and deported, IMO.

At the poker table?  A decent amount of the time.  In life?  More often not.  I wear the hat mostly on the course, so when wearing the hat?  Almost never.

Oh yeah.  Seersucker is an awesome alternate option.  I've always been a sucker for white/blue seersucker, but I could roll with white/brown too.  Love the untucked shirt addition as well.  Though that would hide my curveball of adding a large belt buckle, maybe of my initials?  On the course, large golf club head buckle could work too.

How about a flask buckle? It not only says "I mean business", but it also says "I'm here to party".

Speaking of sunglasses, I lost mine about a month ago.  I distinctly remember having it in my car and when I went looking for it a few days later, it was no where to be found.

I even checked top of my head to make sure I was not going senile (even though I am way too young for that).

For the life of me, I have no idea what happen to that pair of sunglasses.

I cant hit a ball or even putt with sunglasses on.

They go on between shots and that is it.

But at least i havent fallen into a *sinkwhole* while wearing them.

Lost a pair this morning.  Found them on the front of my shirt.

Golf head belt buckle?  Here's what you do.  Forget this $5 per hole stuff.  Bet your sand wedge against your friend's sand wedge on the round.  If you win, disassemble his sand wedge and wear the head of the club as a necklace (a chain, if you will).  Then use the shaft as an alignment aid and stretching stick.  Keep it in your bag.  Make sure he knows. He will never be the same.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
