norball79 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Well the day started ok. Found the set of Irons I wanted; Nike SQ Sumo, and had a buddy call about heading to the course. But somewhere between the first Tee and the 4th hole my Eye Glasses decided to part ways with me. 3 runs back around the course and I am officially without glasses. Good news is after I have up the hunt I was hitting the ball better than I started. Lesson learned; put your glasses in a safe, secure spot if you're not wearing them.

Good news is after I have up the hunt I was hitting the ball better than I started. Lesson learned; put your glasses in a safe, secure spot if you're not wearing them. For real? Your main pair? That would kill me. Welcome to the forums and hope they turn up.

I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course. It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

norball79 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah my Main Pair. It was kinda comical to be on the phone with the Eye Doctors getting a new appt set as I was getting ready to tee off. Glad it was just a goof-day with a friend. GOOD NEWS: When I went back to the Country Club the next day they had my glasses, a little dirty, but no worse for wear! I can see again!!!

norball79 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've never been able to wear contacts. Putting things in contact with my eyes Freaks me Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbealsd Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I wore contacts for years, before I had LASIK, but putting the in and taking them out really takes some getting used to.

BIG STU Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I don't wear glasses playing golf. It is funny I need just enough glasses to pass the Federal DOT physical for my CDL license. I can pass the standard SC state eye exam without them but I do need readers to read with Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

fozcycle Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 My glasses are progressive transition lenses. However, they are straight across and I can't putt with them. So I got a pair of Wiley X prescription sunglasses. They are curved and allow me to focus when i putt. So now, I panic if I don't have them with me when I play....so much that I keep them in my golfbag.....They also have brown lenses which is great for the golf course.
