Any of y’all play regularly with Sunglasses? I struggle with bright sunlight and would like to find a pair that’s good for the course. My polarized Costas don’t seem ideal. What make/model have you found works well for the course? I’m too old for the sport/wrap around Oakley style, but I do think a frameless or no-bottom frame would make them less distracting.

I actually play with my Oakley's on. I get major headaches in bright arse sunlight so I need the glasses when I play. I stay as far away from Polarized when I do play as it will distort your field of vision when swinging.

ETA: I play with the Oakley Flack Jackets / Fast Jackets / Radar EV Or sometimes with my Holbrooks or Mainlinks

I can't feel comfortable wearing sun glasses when hitting a shot. But I used to wear a pair between shots to make things easier on my eyes.

I play with sunglasses most rounds. Usually take them off to putt though.

Streels does, but he consistently wears them wrong.

I do.

Oakley Half Jackets w/ amber, polarized lenses. I like the reduced glare, and the contrast the lenses provide. Plastic lenses for light weight also...

My problem comes from needing my actual prescription glasses during my round. I’ve since moved to transitions to help with the glare. Sucks but it is what it is.

I had my prescription put into my Maui Jims, and they work fine.
