Would agree fitting would be better, thing is I like to try in my own time and as I'm not 100% I will buy, don't want to spend $150 on the fitting just yet.
I'm ready to start trying new clubs though and see what I prefer.

Do you play golf wearing sunnies? As in hit the ball with them on?I swear I’m addicted to spending money on golf gear!
I bought these Sunday and they should arrive either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Only lightly shaded ones. I’ve got some Oakley Flak 2.0 Golf sunglasses but I scratched them earlier this year. I now wear them fielding while playing cricket.

Good question, I've tried but I simply cannot wear sunnies playing golf.
I also cannot have anything in my pockets when playing except one ball marker
I can't do either with sunnies. Even fielding I could never wear sunnies.
As a walker/bag carrier I don't have a buggy for bits and pieces, but there's not much more in my pockets than that.

I am in the say no to wearing sunnies whilst playing. Screws with my perception, which is odd considering i cant drive without them (as in cars).

Do you find any discernable difference between wearing and not wearing them whilst say putting?

WHATS IN YOUR POCKET TIME!
ball marker (its a rather large one, with a detachable smaller one in the centre)
plastic tee
small wooden tee (either in full or a smashed up reduced in size larger tee)
pitch mark reparier

Big difference for mine. I bought Oakley's specifically for golf years ago that set me back $225 and ended up only wearing them between shots.
As for putting, when I tried the sunnies, it did my head in.

Glove OFF when putting, probably why I'm s**t at it, and only ever a plastic wedge tee and a combined marker/fixer in my pocket.
I don't wear a glove. A side effect of being a broke kid and playing the game, also hating old gloves.
I carry same as peternorth although just recently I discovered an old pitch mark repairer bought for me years ago which is 'just push down' to fix pitch marks and its a gem. Means I'll have to carry a separate ball marker, and I reckon I'll go to the old school really small flat ones.

You’re all crazy ffs.
Seriously though, I started trying to wear sunnies at golf about seven years ago. It’s only in the last six months that I wear them all the time instead of in between shots. Sometimes I wonder if the ‘wearing sunnies feels weird thing’ is just in the head as I’ve only just got used to it. I had to force myself to get used to it.
Putting is a tricky one, I usually take them off for putting. Especially long putts.
I didn’t start wearing sunnies until my mid-20’s and I’ve only ever liked sunnies that are light shading and make everything clearer. Nowadays I can’t step outside without them on even when it is a dull day. I squint otherwise.
As for not having much in your pockets, that is something I don’t understand. I have the plastic driver tees, wooden tees, ball markers and a divot tool in there.
Also, I never putt with a glove on and call me old-fashioned because the flag is out when I’m putting unless it is a long putt. The glove is also off between shots.

Pocket - pencil, marker, scorecard, tee, half tee, pitch repairer. I’ve never noticed anything in my pocket.
Now that I’ve read this forum, it can be guaranteed I’ll start some form of ocd pocket situation and will only be able to have a 3mm thick pitch marker on the inside right pocket.

Wooden tee, pitch repair/ball marker, glove in between shots. That’s it.
I should probably post photos soon of the new woods and putter. The putter is fuego
