The Right Kind of Sunglasses Can Win Your Golf Game for You

By Bennetta Elliott


It may sound far-fetched but the fact is that your golf sunglasses can boost or lower your chances for winning the game. That will sound reasonable enough when we remember that players rely on an accurate estimation of the surroundings to deliver a good shot. The swing has to be angled precisely and the force should be just enough to get the ball where it should be.

Your sunglasses should be designed to provide maximum protection for your eyes. This necessity becomes critical if you are playing the game when heat peaks in summer. Besides the delayed effects of ultraviolet exposure, there are also immediate effects of ultraviolet on the body. These effects are focused on the eyes themselves if they get 'sun burnt.'

Your sunglasses need to be of a shade that is not too dark for distinguishing things in the environment and estimating distances of far-away objects.

Most people who know will recommend browns and grays for tinting sunglasses and effectively blocking harmful radiation. Of the two, gray is less conducive for winning a game of golf on account of the fact that gray darkens colors to the point that they become indistinguishable. So for your golf spectacles, you should select shades of brown.

Those recommendations coincide with the feedback from golf players themselves who noticed that they tend to be come less exhausted with the use of light shades of amber or citrus on their tints. Those colors are also conducive for distinguishing the green portion of the landscape.

Although the light coming in from the sides of the eyes do not really harm them, they can cause the player to miscalculate his swing. Sunglasses with wide arms are generally recommended for golfers. The arms themselves serve to keep out bright sunlight which can cause the player to concentrate on the glare rather than on his putts.

The way the sunglasses are designed should fix the glasses on your nose firmly enough not to be constantly moving during the game. The extra motion of adjusting the sunglasses in place can every is a constant source of distraction and irritation for any player.

Bifocals can be very tedious to use in golf. This is because the reading part of the lens may interfere with vision as when the player stoops to look down. Recently, a type lenses called 'stick-on' was introduced into the market. These are soft lenses that have reading grades. You stick them on to your sunglasses instead of using your bifocals. The lens is so constructed as to provide a seamless experience between having to focus afar and having to read something. Your corrective lenses can become reading glasses at one and the same time.
