Shiny/Dull
 

Seems to me, that when the sun is behind me the grass looks shiny.
When the sun is in front of me, the grass looks dull. Should I be looking
at the grass from the side?

what a great thread!

:salut:

I thought I knew my home course! Turns out, I know Jack @##@!!!!

Once again just a reference. Walk around and you should see one side shinier than the other. this would be "down grain" and will be faster and less likely for a ball to check up as well.

greens and sheens

Since we are talking green reading, sheens etc . Do you have any thoughts in regards to sunglasses; polarized , non polarized, green, brown? Is there a trend on tour or is it a personal preference sort of deal.

I have trouble wearing them but bright low light can make it hard to get a read sometimes. Almost as hard as hitting it where I am aiming but that is another story.

Really enjoying your threads.

I wear Peakvision because they have the least amount of distortion I have found, and they do not change the colors much. They tend to take the glare out and I can wear them in even low light situations. My eyes are very light sensitive so I have a hard time functioning without them.

I do not know what is popular on tour but I would love to know if something is better. I do know that many players do not wear them to read greens or putt. Once again personal preference prevails.

For those that wear prescriptions, Peak Vision has a great product. More than a few have gotten headaches looking through my specs.
