Hello. I am looking at getting my sister and brother-in-law some good sunglasses for flying, and wanted peoples opinion on what would be a good choice. Price isn’t a big issue. I know that I don’t want get polorized lenses, but otherwise I am not really sure what to look for. Thanks!

Take a look at Scheyden for pilot glasses.

[What's your on course style?]

Traditional bias, with a pop of color at times - Golf shorts and polo tucked, belt, "dad's" ball-cap style golf cap or wide-brim sun hat.  Golf slacks and generally a quarter zip and/or jacket below ~50F.  Shoes bias to traditional style.  I walk and carry the majority of the time.  Summer temps around mid-90's.  Winter months I'll play into the 40's, and rain.

[2023 MyGolfSpy PGA Championship Pool Sponsored by Titleist TSR Woods]

Cut will be +3

Speech will be at -2 after 2nd round

[Poll: Driving Range Warmup Before Playing a Round?]

Depending upon time and facilities available >>  Must:  Movement exercises, stretch (work out the age kinks).  Wedges up thru 7i ~5 balls each.  Woods if course/range permit ~3-5 each.  Several D/3w-7i-W combos.  Putting - focus primarily on green speed and start line check.

[New, old, difference, irons]

I agree with many that there is something here relative to used, old, performance.  Old clubs were DCI962's/S300s (still have them).  Was fitted about 1.5 yrs ago (after sporadic golf at best over 23 years) into Callaway APEX forged CF19's, Aerotech Steelfiber i80 shafts.  Did I see a difference?  Sure.  But after a year+, on a whim, picked up a used (inexpensive) good condition set of MP-14s, S300, std lie/loft on eBay.  Better feel at impact, predictable and consistent dist/launch.  Had to adjust to the loft difference (e.g. 50* PW).  But no degradation in index over about 15 rounds - more consistent scoring.  Don't mind at all being "told" when I'm off center on a strike.  And the club (to me) just looks easier to hit at address. Laughed at by some with the latest tech when I pulled them out ... sure .. but thick skin prevailed.  Was it a pre-mature fitting after time away from the game?  Maybe (likely).  Watching for some MP-32's for a possible next test.

[Ping Craz E Lite bags - Are they durable?]

I had one of the 2020 versions.  Shoulder strap system lasted ~10 rounds of walking/carrying and the strap stitching started to separate.  It was sent back through my club, and about 3 weeks later I was told to stop in and pick a new bag (and that my model was being recalled so-to-speak).  The only problem I had was with the straps - no early tears or separations with the bag and interior.  Too bad - bag was very light, well balanced, sufficient and thoughtful storage, and fit a full set without having to stuff clubs in.  I've seen the "new" version and the strap design is definitely different - visually appears more heavy-duty.  Looked good.  However, I switched to a Titleist Players 4 Carbon ... which will probably be around for a few years.

[Sneakerheads/Golfers... Favorite Shoe???]

I'm a walker 90+% of the time, and I've settled on TRUE's, for now.  Original 1.2's for full rounds - snug instep and good heel-lock, plenty of toe room.  Issue for some people is the "zero-drop", but I like the level feel and stability/balance.  No traction problems.  Will use the TRUE Knit IIs for a casual 9-holes, or if I need a break on an 18+ day.  They do not have as much lateral stability, and a slight transitional drop, but extremely comfortable.  I have a few other TRUE models but these are the favorites.  Waiting on a pair of the new "Sport" line - somewhat a blend of the two models.  I've tried FJ, Nike, ECCO, Athalonz, and the new Paynter.  And I wear custom insoles (SOLE) in all/any.
