Kaenon Polarized

GOLF

Playing in Hard Kore Tobacco with G12 lenses PGA Tour player Kevin Streelman clinched the inaugural $1million Kodak Challenge – winner take all format – with a birdie on the 17th hole at the Children’s Miracle Network Classic in Orlando, Florida. A new, unique format that extends through most of the PGA Tour, Kevin claimed the Kodak Challenge million-dollars via a separate, PGA Tour KODAK-sponsored prize for the most birdies made during a certain stretch.

Steven Powell, director of the Kodak Challenge noted, “I don’t think we could ask for a better ambassador than Kevin Streelman as our very first champion.”

Kevin’s caddie Michael Collins also is an avid backer of the Kaenon Hard Kore in Black G12 on and off the course.

GOLF REVIEW
From the Golf Ontario/Golf Style – “In a recent study, while 79 percent of people knew that exposure to UV radiation caused skin cancer, only six percent were aware that it could also damage their eyes. Further, as a child’s eyes are not yet fully developed to adequately filter UV radiation, youngsters’ retinas may be damaged even on cloudy days. Less serious, though more common, is general eye fatigue due to the discomfort from glare, which can be caused by direct or indirect light. Glare may come directly from a light source (i.e. facing toward the sun) or be reflected via sand and water. All of which make investing in a quality pair of sunglasses, including those with lightsensitive photochromic lenses, one of your most vital equipment additions in 2009.”

“Special K” – Kaenon meshes high quality and style with its SR-91 polarized lens, combining the optical quality of the finest glass with the impact resistance and light weight of polycarbonate. Scratch resistant with exceptional glare reduction, the product is actually worn in competition by touring pros such as reigning Canadian Open champ Chez Reavie, Robert Allenby, Paul Azinger, Morgan Pressel and Carin Koch.
