Do polarized sunglasses help or hurt your golf game?

QUESTION:
I’ve read conflicting opinions on this. Some say polarized lenses make it easier to see the golf ball, and improves your game. Others say it makes it harder to read the contours of the course, especially the greens. What do you think?

Hi Tim,

I’ve been using golf sunglasses for a number of years and it is well known amongst the better players that polarized lenses are very bad for their distortion factor. Particularly when reading greens and when judging contours. Try Oakley glasses!
