I use Oakleys as well. But these.oakley-oo-9316-02-01-16.jpg

I think they're called thin link. Ive had them for a long time, so they may not be in production anymore, but their the best golf glasses I've ever owned. Went with them because they gave me everything i wanted from a golf speciic set of sunglasses, but without the $200+ price  tag of flak jackets.. Think i got these for around $100. Comfortable even on the greens. 

I tried Oakleys golf lenses (PRIZM i think) and I'm really not a fan. They made everything too bright and pink. Ive found that non poloarized brown lenses are best for golf. Polarized lenses make objects in the distance look weird sometimes.

I registered as I'm a veteran and the discount is 10% which equals $60 on a $600 pr of prescription sunglasses.  Not sure how its hundreds?

Which ones?

The glasses I'm looking to get are the prescription sunglasses Turbine frame with Prizm Golf lenses. MSRP of $490, but registering through the link gives a discount down to $288 (plus a few dollars for shipping).

This is one of my favorite topics. I have a few that I like to wear on the course. Maui Jim sport is probably my favorite, super light weight and great optics. I use the gray lenses. Also just got the Dragon Inflectors, they have a plastic frame but they’re also extremely light and have a cool blue mirror lens. Another pair that I love are the classic Ray Ban Wayfarers with the polarized lenses. Those are heavier but I love the style. 

Never tried the Oakley prizm lenses. Optical clarity is the main thing I look for with golf glasses and I feel that I track the ball much better with glasses.

I know that this is an old post but didn't think I should start a new one.  I just bought my first pair of polarized sunglasses and I have this question - do you find you need to give your eyes time to adjust before you play?  My wife (who plays tennis) feels she has to start wearing hers 30 minutes before she plays in order to adjust.  I didn't notice anything the first time or two I used mine, but I think I also wore them while driving to the course.  Recently I've twice run out for 9 after work, put the glasses on, and have gotten off to the most horrible of horrible starts - wondering if I was just rushing or could the sun glasses adjustment period be part of it?

Stupid question, but I find us golfers ask a lot of stupid questions.

Some people say polarized glasses are not good for golf because they hinder your ability to read greens. Of course if you read greens with your feet (Aimpoint system) then it doesn't matter.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
