Sunglass game on tour

[Dr.Zevia]

Dylan Frattelli, no-just no.  For an Italian he's missed the mark style wise.
Phil, yes. It's a winner for him, he's chosen wisely. 
Bubba, seems to have gone the route of what I see a lot of fishermen wear, not sure of the style but it's seem more form over function.
Duval, probably the all time best.  The style and his game/personality just seem to fit right.

That being said I don't know why more tour players don't wear eye protection.  I for one never go out in the sun without sunglasses.

Streelman isn't setting any trends on tour.

That’s the Chris DiMarco look. Guy had a sunglasses contract, didn’t like wearing them so he just hung them on the back of his hat for 5 years.

Frittelli is a South African not Italian 🙄

Frittelli’s are obviously prescriptions 

[DON SVO]

Stenson has had the sunglass game locked up for years. Dude looked like a stone cold badass and played like it too just a few years back.

Not Italian.

Phil is the best on tour by far. I’ve tried finding them several times haha.

[Rob G 89]

Guys there is a difference between nationality and descent. We all know Dylan is a South African national but obviously he is of Italian descent. I’m an American but of Italian descent

Phil looks hideous in his sunglasses.

Not hideous....well yes, they are hideous.  Looks to me like he was on his way to the course and realized he forgot his sunglasses. Rather than go back to the hotel he checked the glovebox and found Amy’s old pair. 😎

By that logic and in terms of this conversation I could say technically we all came from some woman in Africa 200,000 years ago. He represents South Africa in world tournaments and isn’t Ryder cup eligible. I’m sure he has more than just Italian heritage in him.

YET......

There's even a Wiki page on Italian South Africans...  😉

[golfortennis]

You guys are discussing Fritelli's ethnicity, I'm still trying to figure out this "game" being played with sunglasses.

Lol yeah Wikipedia is such a credible source. A guy with an Italian name who was born and raised in South Africa and represents South Africa in team events.

Nobody is disputing the fact that he's South African and/or represents South Africa.  I took it as him linking Italians and style, because unless you wear cargo shorts and socks with sandals, you know that Italians are known for being quite stylish in general. 

 

By your logic, anyone born and raised in America can be nothing other than American.  So I guess we should do away with the terms Mexican-American, Italian-American, African-American.  Right?  Right...?

 

I actually don't even care one way or another; I just think it's funny when people fixate on minor stuff to flex their internet-gotcha-muscles and it backfires.

Yep we all are from Pangea

Jump on the thread about sunglasses and immediately see a debate about ethnicity.  Classic!!

Well considering Italians from Italy when you ask them what is your nationality they don't say Italian. They say Sicilian, Tuscan, etc and they take it serious. There are plenty of Jewish people with German and Italian last names. Does that make them Italian or German?

Using Wikipedia as a source too. You would think people by now would actually know about Wikipedia and the credibility.

[MUNIGRIT]

Back to the topic. Question for everyone. Are the South African's(who may or may not be Italian) sunglass/Prescription glasses worse than the  Sketcher outfit of Kuchar flood pants and all? Nothing throws the towel in on being an old man faster than Sketcher other than white Nikes/New Balance shoes.

You're being laughably pedantic.  It's obvious you reside in the left/left-center of the distribution, but try to offer something other than a straw man.

with Dylan Frittelli, the whippet-thin 30-year-old South African golfer of Italian descent

 

You should probably contact the author and school them up.  They won't care, but I'm sure it'll make you feel better.

What’s wrong with acting your age?

 

I live in LA. I see too many 60 year olds, of all genders, dress like they’re 25.
