Sunglasses can protect your eyes, enhance your vision and boost your performance from tee off to the 18th hole. Sport sunglasses come in a variety of styles and designs with many specific features for golfers.
Do I need sunglasses to play golf?
Golf sunglasses are necessary to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays, drying wind and unwanted debris on the course. They can help you track the trajectory of your ball down the fairway without troublesome glare and squinting. Additionally, many golf sunglasses can also increase visual acuity by amplifying contrast and boosting depth perception.
Are polarised lenses better for golf?
Polarised sunglasses are ideal for cutting glare on water, bunkers and other reflective surfaces. However, some golfers prefer non-polarised lenses, particularly for putting. Glare on the green can help determine the angle of the grain and make for a more accurate putt. Ultimately, choosing polarised lenses comes down to personal preference.
What type of sunglasses should I use for golf?
The best sunglasses for golf help you have a better game while keeping your eyes protected. Much of finding the perfect pair comes down to what matters to you. Sun protection is the most important factor while lens colour, materials and style are a personal choice. You can find sunglasses that match your face shape to get an even more personalised look.
Best lens colour for golf sunglasses
Ideally, golf sunglasses enhance contrast and improve depth perception. Many golfers prefer brown lenses for this reason. On the other hand, grey lenses or green lenses offer more natural colour rendering but can decrease contrast if they have very dark tints. Mirrored or polarised lenses can also be useful for vision on the course. Brands like Oakley offer many stylish and durable options for golfers and athletes.
Which professional golfers wear golf sunglasses?
While sunglasses can absolutely enhance your vision while golfing, not every professional golfer plays with sunglasses. Every centimetre counts at an elite level and sunglasses can affect vision in changing light and weather conditions. Therefore, some make the personal choice to forgo sunglasses while competing.
Some famous professional golfers that have been spotted playing in sunglasses include Michelle Wie West, Adam Scott, Paula Creamer, and Phil Mickelson.
