Played today in the sun !!! thought I need some sunglasses ..but wondered what are the best (my kids who play cricket would say Oakley) but also do they affect your play .. or am I just looking for some to take off every shot ?

Loads of different brands but if you can afford it Oakley are the best IMO. I have the flak jacket model which are designed for Golf

I have some nice Reactolight glasses for golf, they are prescription ones but are great for changing light conditions.

As above, if you can afford Oakleys then they are the best choice. However, make sure that the style suits. I've lost count of how many blokes I've seen that wear a pair which completely do not suit but hey look at me I'm wearing some flashy Oakleys!

I had never played golf with sunglasses on until a few weeks back, got a pair from Tesco for £7 and they are decent and do the job.

I've got some adidas evil eye not quite the cost of oakleys but decent IMO.

The Flak Jacket are a all purpose sports sunglasses, i used to have a pair when i did a lot of bike riding.
They are quite a snug fit and stay stable even with a lot of head movement hence the reason i think a lot of golfers use them.
Personally i couldn't wear sunglasses playing golf as they would put me off.

I got fitted for sunglasses...
You get fitted for driver, irons, wedges, putters, balls, shoes now apparently...
Why not get fitted for sunglasses next? Soon we will be going to be custom fitted for golf clothes too! Everything down to your underwear, ball marker and towel will be custom fitted!

Oakleys are pretty good (I have a couple of pairs) but sunglasses are even more 'marketing' driven than golf clubs imo and Oakley is the TM equivalent in that market (though less gimmicky).
I don't wear sunglasses to play shots and remove them sufficiently ahead of the shot for my eyes to accustomise.
Woodworm make/made some good ones that are often at 'bargain' prices.

Pretty much yes. I have hardly worn mine in the UK since I bough them as it has done nowt but hose it down. I have worn them in Australia when I have been over to visit mates that are out there and they really do the job.

What about the pencil? Some don't mark the card well, it may be due to finger pressure so fitting would improve all these unreadable cards.

Maybe Oakley are missing a trick here and should bring some out with lenses that make it look like summer and have built in wipers on the lenses for the rain.

Another vote for the Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ. Had mine on today and no problems. Only take them off for putting.

Good idea, they would have made a fortune last summer
I know the biggest selling club of 2012 was the Umbrella by all manufacturers

Oakleys all the way for me too, have 4 pairs in different styles.
