By Ed Travis Tifosi: Sunglasses They Are More Than Just COOL! While we all want a bright sunny day to play golf, the glare from that wonderful sunshine may cause damage to our eyes. Many optometrists strongly suggest wearing sunglasses when spending extended periods outdoors on the course. We asked the experts at Tifosi Optics what we need to know about sunglasses for golf. Henk van Dongen, Tifosi’s Marketing Director was happy to answer our questions. It seems sunglasses are much more important than just looking “cool” on the course. There are several factors one needs to know when purchasing new sunglasses. Q. Can you tell me a little about Tifosi – how it got started and what markets it serves? A. Tifosi was started in 2003 by Elizabeth and Joe Early. They are still the owners today and the company is headquartered in Watkinsville, Georgia. They were working as representatives for bicycle products when they realized that the eyewear professional cyclists were wearing was out of reach for many fans. They decided to start an eyewear company focused on providing highquality eyewear at more reasonable price levels, much less than the big brand names at $150 and more.
