Sunglasses

[Johnny Canuck]

I should hopefully get a couple years out if them.

[Sydney Hacker]

What brand/model are they? I assume you have some out of the normal needs as far as contacts go?

[sms316]

Contact lenses were $1200 for the pair, so the eye budget is just about exhausted.

Why didn't you get disposables? They cost me about $8 per lense and last 6 weeks at a time.

I wear cheapo sunglasses and take them off for shots. I've lost or broken too many to want to spend any money on a good pair.

I'm finding at 51 that I really can't see the ball coming down with any consistency at all. Reall once it starts dropping I'm looking to the ground for the bounce.
What type and colour of lenses might help me with clarity?

[Veefore]

Brown is the colour for golf, enhances contours, contrast and depth perception.

Don't use grey, flattens everything out.

Don't use polarized lens, forgot why.

+1 for Bolle Eaglevision.

Agree with this.

Just recieved my oakley flak jackets on friday and wore them yesterday for the first time (from pro clubs and they came ok - I wa sa tad concerned as I know pro clubs have recieved a bad rap from a few people here)

lenses are G40 transition lense - changes as the light brightens or darkens - I found I could leave them on the whole day for all shots

I Wear Sundogs atm. I'm very tempted to get the Oakley Radar Path sunglasses. They fit fantastic. Have issues finding a pair that fits perfectly.

[dave1]

Radars are very big - flak jackets smaller ..Get the xlj in flaks

Half jacket are the smallest.

I suggest getting reading glasses first.

Oh how very droll.

I have an eye condition that requires me to wear hard lenses. Normal lenses are uncomfortable as anything. I wear ones called mini scleral lenses. Totally different concept, bigger, and much more comfortable.

I happened to get a free pair of Sundogs with brown lenses today.

Someone was so happy that I reported a kid for cheating (would have won it all without my report) that he gave me a pair for free. I'll post details in the infringement thread tonight or tomorrow.

Is laser surgery an option JC?

My wife got it done and has never looked back - $5000 though - ouch.

Sundogs are good for cheapies. Biggest key to checking if they will distort your vision is to look at them from the front and slowly turn them so your reflection moves from one end to the other. If the reflection stays constant then they are fine. If your reflection changes then don't wear them while playing a shot or reading greens.

Not an option, unfortunately. I have had a corneal transplant on one eye. Option of doing the other, but I don't want to take time off.Cheers SMS, will try.

Sounds juicy!

Hey JC have you posted the details of what the cheater did yet?

[Johnny Canuck]

No. Will do tonight. At work. Was super tired after 36 holes, beer then staying awake through dinner and a movie with the wife.

Tifosi make great golf sunnies. Cheaper than oakleys and some on the bay always too.

Often packaged with 3 lenses too

I was curious about these.

Very timely this thread! My 5 year old Rudy Projects are due for replacement and that site has some great bargains.

[Hacker09]

Those Syluro's on the erudy site with the transition lenses seem like a bargain. Anyone got/had that model?

[Choppa1]

They look like a remake of an old model they had called Kerosene which I have, and they are great - all up, I have 5 pairs of Rudy Project sunglasses - yes, I'm a tragic fan!!
