Sunglasses: Styles to match your tastes

Adidas Retego sunglasses

The marketplace for golf sunglasses is intensely competitive, resulting in many high-quality choices for golfers.

Today’s golf sunglasses are lightweight and can be adjusted for a personal fit. In addition, modern lenses (many of which are interchangeable) boast superb quality.

Golfers are advised to evaluate sunglasses carefully before buying them. With polarized lenses, GPS devices and cell phones often appear black and cannot be seen accurately.

Furthermore, players should judge their ability to see clearly in all directions while wearing sunglasses. They should pay particular attention to peripheral vision, which generally is thought to be important during the golf swing.
