I really
was shocked when I began my research to locate the
specific criteria, information, and considerations that golfers
actually need to know when choosing the best performing golfing sunglasses. The
actual lack of golf specific information was incredible!
What I was able to find was this old classic quote, “Our
sunglasses will make you look sleek and cool at the
clubhouse.”
In my
opinion, most golfers
would rather have a pair of sunglasses that
will help them play a better round of golf! It has
been my
experience that having a better recognition of the golf course
features will
translate into a better game! |

Yes, we
all want to look good during our outdoor activities
but that should be a secondary consideration when
selecting a pair of quality sunglasses designed specifically
for golfers. Here are some of the more important
game play issues that a golfer needs to consider:
●
Overall Vision –
In order to reduce eye fatigue the golfer needs sunglasses that
will block those bright harmful UV rays that
will be coming from
above and at the same time
enhance the lower field of view like the fairway and
greens. Many sunglasses tackle at least one of these
issues effectively but a golfer's goal needs to be
to locate
sunglasses that deal with all of his golf specific issues
giving better upper and lower field of views.
●
Lens Color – The average golfer is going to need
sunglasses for an entire range of light conditions.
Golfers often face early and late day low light
conditions as well as brightest mid-day conditions possible. Choosing the
right color lenses can be critical in handling these
possibilities. Interchangeable lenses can be a
distinct advantage.
●
Frame Styles – Golfers need sunglasses that will
enhance their vision but at the same time not be
something that they should even have to think about during a
round of golf. What that means is that a golfer needs well designed lightweight frames
with no part of the glasses frame distracting from
the
field of vision. The best quality golf sunglasses must be
lightweight incorporating strength and an unimpeded
vision design. Don't forget about a non-slip fit.
