Here’s why non-polarized sunglasses could improve your game:
-
Uninterrupted View of Digital Screens
Polarized lenses can distort the view of digital devices like rangefinders or GPS, which are often used on the course. Non-polarized lenses ensure you can read these screens without tilting your head or squinting. -
Enhanced Depth Perception
Non-polarized lenses allow for a clearer perception of contrasts on greens, helping you read breaks and slopes accurately. This visual edge is key for precise putting. -
Reduced Glare from Smooth Surfaces
While polarization reduces glare, it also dims reflections that are actually useful in detecting subtle fluctuations and surface textures. Non-polarized lenses give you a more natural, balanced view of the terrain.
Polarized or anti-glare sunglasses have a great reputation for reducing light glare and eye strain, thus improving vision and safety in the sun.. The images may be darker but more are also crisper.
Thus, polarized glasses seem preferable on the fairway. As to the greens, the verdict seems to be in dispute as to whether one sees contours better.
