Playing with Glasses on in the rain..

[Big85]

There is nothing more annoying than wearing glasses whilst it’s raining and trying to play golf. Contact lenses isn’t an option.

What do people find best to keep the rain off your glasses to a minimum??

A wide brimmed hat does about the best job for me.

I've got a Gore Tex bucket hat and a basic Tilley hat. Both work perfectly.

You might feel a bit self-conscious with them on, but I have a cheap pair of Screwfix protective overspecs in my bag that I wear in heavy rain or when it is windy and the rain is horizontal, and take them off just before my shot.

I got a few funny looks at first, but it does the job, so who cares?

I just accept it's going to be crap trying to see anything.

Baseball hat and brolly work for me. The only issue I have is when there is rain and wind.

When I first started wearing glasses for golf I thought it was great to see the ball land on the fairway, but after trying to play in the rain I gave up, still see the ball take off but not when it lands, hence people say why do you hit it straight all the time and my answer is if I don't I will lose the ball.

This ^^. Although I now favor the back of my Macwet gloves for a surprisingly streak free wipe of the glasses
