Reviews of Visiball golf ball finding sunglasses?

Answers only from people who have bought or tried them out, please.

My friend bought a pair and we both found them to be pretty dumb. Basically they seem to filter light similar to how things look under a blacklight so that white things show up as brighter. What they don’t mention is that this works for anything that is white or light colored and since you can’t really see very well through these things except color differences it ends up highlighting every little bit of junk on the course and not just balls. This was especially brutal on our regular course as there are a lot of cottonwood trees on the back 9 that dump white fluffy seeds all over the place like snow during this time of year.

What is the official height (in inches) the greens should be in golf – amatuar and on the tour?

Depends on what type of grass and time of year. A lot of the PGA events cut the greens so low and don’t water them during the event they have to rebuild them following the event.

Most of the green’s are 3/16

healthy, vigorous green can be maintained at a very short cutting height (as low as 1/8-inch) for short periods of time without serious consequences if it’s been prepared properly and weather conditions are acceptable. Courses hosting tournaments often take months (and spend significant extra money) to bring greens up to an ultrafast speed for PGA Tour players. For example, the greens at Augusta National or Oakmont may "stimp" up to 14 when properly prepared and dry.
