I have been through a lot of golf sunglasses over the years. Some of them looked great in the store but felt wrong the first time I tried to read a putt. The ball seemed to shift when I turned my head, and the line on the green never looked straight. That is optical distortion, … Read more
You are on the 10th tee and your sunglasses start sliding off your nose. The left arm feels like it has half a millimeter of play. Every time you look down at your ball, the frame shifts. You stop, push them back up, and lose focus. I have been there more times than I can … Read more
If you have ever slipped on a pair of sunglasses on the first tee and thought the ball looked odd, you are not imagining things. The white ball suddenly looks cream-colored. It seems to float above the grass. It might even look like it shifts position when you start your swing. This is real, and … Read more
