I started playing again after a 30 year hiatus and was amazed by the amount of information out there. There wasn't much available back then. Its enough to make one dizzy. It is much the same as the internet itself. One has to know what to ask. Then like human interactions, experience level and experiences must mesh. Like speaking English is not enough we must be speaking the same language. Feel is a tough thing to convey. Good teachers do it pretty well and then there are others. Shawn Clement has been mentioned a few times in this topic and would fit into the good teacher category. I would say half, maybe more are well intention-ed and the rest are trying to sell you something, a program or just racking up the likes. I've gone down a rabbit hole or two but now I use it to go back to basics. I've found a few that do that well. One good thing I've found on you tube is the realization that most of us are just plane lost and left left to a our own devices. Full of want to and no where enough how to. And unless one has pockets full of spare money we are left with you tube. Hence a ripe and fertile place to be P.T.Barnum-ed. Much like life itself -

I am now officially conflicted. I had my choice down and then created the spreadsheet with all the options. Now that I can see the variety of options all I can say I have a favourite from each group. Yikes what have I done. From minimal, it’s the logo, from simple the T line, the wider 2 lines, the three lines that extend all the way to the back of the putter and the pointer arrow. Colour wise red and blue still lead the way. Hopefully, I get my fitting data soon so I’m forced to make a decision. -

This is my Review #2 for Sundog Billy83 sunglasses with POLARIZED LENSES. As I said in my first Review for Sundog Zenith sunglasses with NON-POLARIZED LENSES, I really do not intend to wear polarized lenses for playing golf due to the fact that they tend to flatten-out slopes/terrain and do not identify grass grain on putting greens, which is an important thing here in Florida. Again, I'll post pics below, but my initial thoughts on the Sundog Billy83 with polarized lenses was very positive. At the retail price of $149.99, I would consider them a great value. They delivered on quality, fashion, clarity, UV protection and calming-effect. Quality: Sundog Billy83 sunglasses are very well made. The frame and lens materials are very solid. Like the Sundog Zenith's I tested, the hinges work just the right amount of easy. The Billy83's feature a nose-piece (pic 23) that seems bendable and replaceable if needed to fit wider or narrower noses. There is a small screw that allows the nose piece to be removed for replacement. The Sundog soft cloth bag/case in pics 19, 24, 25 and 26 show that is is a very generous size compared to the Oakley "plutonite" bag. Soft cloth sunglass bags should be laundered every 10 wearings, especially in the Summer when wearing sunscreen. Fashion: Again, I trusted my wife's opinion of what frames would look best on my face. The Billy83's are very similar to Oakley "Heater" style frames. I consider "fit" more important than fashion for golf sunglasses. However, based on my preference for non-polarized sunglasses for golf, I would wear Billy83's for driving, beach, boating, tennis, and most other sporting activities. These did a good job of keeping extra side/top-light out of my eyes. Clarity: This is one of the categories where Billy83's really shined. There is a super sharpness when looking through these lenses. It somewhat made me feel like I was wearing corrective lenses - maybe it's the TrueBlue lenses! UV Protection: After reading everything available on this topic on their website, I trust Sundog, Calming Effect: It's extremely difficult for a non-polarized lens to beat a polarized lens for "calming effect" and compared to the Sundog Zenith sunglasses, Sundog Billy83s rated a 10 in this category for me. Again, maybe it's the TrueBlue lenses. Negatives: I picked the Sundog Billy83s to test because they were the best for hat-wearers and wide faces. What I could not discern until I wore them was the temple/arms fit. On my first wearing, I could not keep the Billys or Zeniths on my head for more than 1 hour to to extreme tightness of the temples/arms over my ears. I read later some information from the Sundog folks mentioning that the Billy83 temples were bendable, so I tried it for my second test-wearing. Bending the temples outward (see pics 29, 32 and 32A) illustrate what I did, and it did release the tension of the frames on the sides of my head. However, bending the temples outward (pic 32A) made them come in direct contact with my big hat and made them not sit right on my nose. Florida was experiencing some high winds earlier this week when I was doing my testing, but wind is normally an issue most of the time here and winds affect the kind of hat you can wear on a certain day. I would need to do some more bending/testing before I would give the Billy83's my blessing for great fit. I do like the rubberized tips on the temples that help when you put the Billy83s on your hat while putting - they feel a bit more secure. Once again, I see so many big headed guys (police officers, firemen, first responders, body builders and many others and wonder where they get proper-fitting sunglasses. SUNDOG MARKETING DEPARTMENT - I hope you are listening! 😃 Here comes the pics....thank you for your time and attention. 😎 👍 Please let me know if you have any questions.
