2011 Transitions Championship -- Vision and the Game

by Kenny Perry  |  March 20, 2011

Not exactly the week I was hoping for at the Transitions Championship.  I'm really struggling with my ball striking, but I'm working really hard with Matt Killen to get my swing back to its 2008/2009 form.  I've also been working with Dr. Lampert, Transitions' vision expert, on new Transitions lenses for my glasses. 

 

We've discovered that my vision in my left eye is deteriorating quickly, but my right eye vision is remaining constant, which is why the deterioration in my left eye was not obvious to me.  Throughout the last 6-9 months I've hit a lot of putts that started on the line I wanted but didn't come close to the hole.  Now I know I wasn't reading the line accurately, so I'm confident my putting will immediately begin to improve.  Vision is everything in golf but can easily be overlooked.  For me, it's important to have quarterly eye exams so I can stay on top of my changing lens prescription.  Now it's just up to me to get the ball in the hole!
