Best sunglasses for golf Golf sunglasses can improve the wearers game and should also provide comfort to last for 18 holes. Eyesight is one of the most important tools when it comes to golf. Frameless glasses will not interfere with the golfer's vision. Different coloured tints also allow the player to easily keep their eye on the golf ball.
Things to consider When buying golfing sunglasses, there are several features which can improve your experience and performance. Vision is essential when it comes to golf. Keeping your eye on something as small as a golf ball from far away can be difficult, especially when it moves at high speed, often against a cloudy sky.
For example: Sunglasses with a thin or half-frame are suitable for golf, as they don’t obscure the players’ vision when they’re striking the ball. The frames should also be lightweight and comfortable. A round of 18 holes can take several hours, so it’s important the sunglasses are easy and comfortable to wear. Golf sunglasses should also have a firm grip. When the wearer is facing down as they hit a ball, the glasses can slip off. Not only can this cause the sunglasses to break, but it can be distracting for the golfer. As mentioned, it can be difficult tracking the golf ball. The best sunglasses usually have brown or gold lenses, as this helps to contrast the white golf ball against the blue sky and green course. This also helps with depth perception and judging distances. Orange and red lenses are also ideal for tracking the ball in more overcast conditions. The main function of any sunglasses is to offer protection from UV rays; however, this is especially important for playing golf. Golf is especially popular during summer, when sunlight is most intense. As golfers will be out in the sun for hours at a time, it is important to protect their eyes from sunlight.
Oakley Frogskins Lite OO9374 These half-frame sunglasses from Oakley are lightweight and comfortable, meaning they can be worn for hours on the golf course without irritating the wearer. They are also tight fitting, so they aren’t likely to fall off and cause a distraction when the golfer is swinging. The orange lens on these sporty sunglasses will help the golfer to track their golf ball, even in overcast weather. As the bottom half of these sunglasses is frameless, this enables the wearer to view their ball easily when swinging.
Ray-Ban RB3457 These versatile, metal aviator sunglasses bring style as well as substance to the golf course. The metal frame is thin and lightweight, ensuring all day maximum comfort. The thin frame means the glasses do not interfere with the golfers view when taking a swing. The brown lenses on these Ray-Ban’s make it easy for the golfer to keep track of the golf ball when in flight, even in the brightest weather. These Ray-Ban's are also exclusive to Vision Express.
Oakley Mercenary OO9424 Oakley design a range of high-quality, lightweight sunglasses for sports activities. The Oakley Mercenary are perfect for golf. The red lens enhances colour and contrast. This allows golfers to keep track of their golf ball and even helps to distinguish between different grass lengths on the golf course. The lightweight and sleek design means golfers can wear the Oakley Mercenary’s all day without discomfort.
Sandro SD8001 Purple lenses are also quickly becoming a popular choice for golfers. Purple is a gentle, soothing colour, making it an ideal lens colour as golfers may be wearing these glasses for several hours. Purple also dulls the green course, helping players to see their ball more clearly. The lightweight, metal frame of these Sandro sunglasses also ensures they remain comfortable and do not distract the player.
