Even after a long history, golf continues to enjoy immense popularity around the world. While myths surround the sport's exact origins, it has become increasingly professionalized in recent decades. Therefore, the right equipment is a crucial factor for a successful performance on the golf course. Clear vision is essential in golf, which is why the golf community has long debated whether it's worthwhile to use sports glasses for golf. We've compiled the most important facts on this topic for you.
Getting started – what do you need to consider when playing golf?
Where golf originated is still a matter of debate today. Both Scotland and the Netherlands claim to be the origin of the sport. However, golf only became particularly popular at the end of the 19th century when the first golf clubs were founded in various locations. The requirements to play golf have also become more stringent over the years. It is now mandatory to successfully complete a course to obtain a playing license before you can really get started. These courses are offered by many golf clubs and are designed not only to help you improve your stroke technique but also to familiarize you with the rules of golf. Once you have completed the course, the motto is: practice makes perfect. The more you play, the faster you will get a feel for the pitfalls that each golf course presents and learn how to deal with problems on the course. In addition to choosing the right golf bag and clubs or the right glove, there is also the question of how you can optimize your field of vision while golfing.
Which sports glasses are needed for golf
When playing golf, you're dealing with great distances and rapidly changing light conditions caused by obstacles, while at the same time always having to keep a clear view of the ball. This brings with it certain requirements that suitable sports glasses for golf must meet. In addition to the obligatory UV protection, experts recommend choosing glasses with the widest possible field of vision in order to have a clear view of the entire playing field. The glasses should also be non-slip and have a secure fit. Our two models The BLADE or The VOLT are ideal for this, with their wide field of vision, rubberized temple tips, and adjustable nose piece. It's also important to be well prepared for the different lighting conditions on the golf course. An 18-hole round can take several hours, which is why changes in the weather during your round cannot be ruled out. It's useful to have sports glasses for golf with interchangeable lenses. You can learn about the lens categories for sports glasses in this blog. Since our eyes are very individual, choosing the right interchangeable lens is a very individual matter and should be carefully considered.
A controversial topic among golfers is the question of whether polarized lenses are worth it for golf or not. Here, too, it's primarily a question of individual preference. The idea behind polarized lenses is not only to protect against UV rays, but also to block light from reflections. In high mountain areas, where a lot of snow and ice reflects the sunlight, polarized glasses make perfect sense. But what about golf? Here, reflections can come from water hazards, sand from bunkers, or grass, for example. Polarized lenses can therefore be particularly advantageous on days with strong sunlight. In changeable weather conditions, on the other hand, polarization is not necessary and a category 2 lens, for example, is sufficient.
