Sunglasses are really an awesome accessory which makes are look cool and along with it protects our eyes from eye problems. There are many reputed online stores for sunglasses like oakley, citysunglass (http://www.citysunglass.com) and more that offer sports sunglasses.

I've recently purchased a few pairs of Shady Ray's X-Series glasses and I love them. Under $50 PLUS, 30 day no questions asked return policy with free shipping, a great warranty that covers lost or broken glasses, (yes, I said lost!) and fantastic customer service. Now, I shouldn't need to use the warranty since mine are in Titleist sunglasses cases but you never know. :-) www.titleist.com/.../sbxv7qfdnnyra3lnbvqv

I own an optical shop and have tried Oakley, Maui Jim, Costa, Vaurnet, Bolle, Persol, Reptile, Carrera, Serengetti, Rudy Project and many others. The only consistent trait that all of the manufacturers share if they label lenses for "golf" is having an amber/brown lens. some are polarized , some are not. Personally I wear only polarized lenses in my sunglasses except for golf. I find that a polarized lens eliminates the glare which makes it harder to see the grain of the grass.

I wish I could play with sunglasses on. Tried several times just don't play as well.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I have been researching the Oakley Flak Jackets with the golf prizm lenses, and I may just have to give them a shot.

I have had Maui Jim's and also Ray Ban but I always go back to Oakley Flak jackets with the golf specific lenses. Best vision and protection you can get for golf.

I run swoosh shades all the time. These are what I have and what included lens I use I wear any of these all the time...and when I say all the time I mean day or night!

EV0620 - Orange Blaze Lens
EV0672 - Max Transitions Outdoor Lens

EV0621 - Max Golf Tint Lens (I don't use these, I had my prescription put in them. The Golf Tint Lens is too dark for my liking)

I use the Oakley's with "golf specific" lenses as well. The contrasting shade of rose coloured lenses provides great clarity on the course, helping to pick the ball up from the remainder of the background - even whitish/grey coloured skies!

It also helps with clarity and sharpness on bright green putting greens. Where it gets a bit "dicey" is when there is lots of yellowish colour in the grass.

My playing partner loves her Maui Jims too ... super lightweight so you might also want to look at them too.

Hi Ned,
I know that sunglasses like clubs can be a personal like/dislike, but I just bought a pair of Oakley Flak Jacket with Prism lens and WOW is all I can say! Much better than my non prescription Oakley Transition lens.

Oakley makes lens tints (G30) specific to golf that Adam Scott wears. I use them the entire round and don't need to remove them on the greens since they aren't a dark tint, and as the lenses are made to add more contrast to see more variations on the green.

Oakley Half Jacket with Golf Prism lens. These are the ultimate golf glasses.

Oakley is the standard..... I stay away from polarized and use PRIZM lense.

I e been wearing oakley's flak jacket with a couple of sets of lenses I change out. I use the g30 golf lenses and also a pair of smoke gray titanium lenses for bright sun. Have worn them for two seasons

Oakley has a ton of golf style lenses in prizm however I love the old school flak with xlj lenses, especially the flexibility of lenses

Look at the Oakley's they may a specific lens for just golf. See an authorized dealer and they can give you the info, or go the the Oakley website.

Oakley Prizm or G30 lenses are my favorites. Come in many different shapes/ frames for your liking. Wear them all the time for golf...without taking them off to putt. Spendy...but worth looking into if you are light sensitive like me.

Oakley Half Jacket 2.0. Lightweight and comfortable.

Maui Jim's all the way. Lightweight and polarized. I wear sunglasses in the beginning of the season and transition away from them as I groove my swing. It helps me keep my head down and not move wildly through my swing.

When I am on the course I wear my Half Jacket Oakleys. Some even say wearing polarized sun glasses help read the slope of the green.

Maui jims are the best

Maui Jim

I wear prescription transitional grey. This way I never have to worry. Not concerned about style only about protection and being able to see my golf ball. I wear bifocals, so could not recommend any brand. Followed Kenny Perry's lead years ago.

I've tried several different lens tints and have come to the decision that the Oakley G30 is the best for me. Cloudy or sunny I think they provide a crisp clear look at things. Good Luck on your search.

Costa is what I wear. Haven't had any issues.

I've got the Oakley Carbon Blades; great for golf.

I recently had my prescription lenses put in my Oakleys. It has helped a ton. Not sure if you normally wear glasses or contacts, but for a guy with less than sharp vision, I have really enjoyed these. They are just a standard polarized lens. They do feel dark on an overcast day though.
Bottom line is its all personal preference really. Everyone sees a bit differently.
