It's true, many pros don't wear sunglasses while playing because they think they detract from their golf game. Their thinking goes, sunglasses decrease contrast and hinder depth perception. They consider having sharp vision to be more better than dealing with bright sunlight during a golfer's swing. This is all well and good for people who are competing for large sums of money professionally. For the rest of us, sunglasses should be worn during golf. It's a matter of health and safety. They help us avoid sunburns, and, over the long term, decrease our risk of skin cancer, cataracts, macular degeneration, pterygium, and keratitis.
