I don't remember it every being said on the show that his glasses were leaded glass, but it has occurred in fanfiction. I think it also occurred in the comics, but I can't quite remember. My memory is awful these days. I kind of think that he is protecting the glasses, as mentioned above.
Lead crystal is the type of crystal that pings and gives you a lovely bell tone when lightly tapped with a spoon. Hand blown glass crystal does not do that. Oh, the things that you learn when you sell Princess House Crystal. I did that once upon a time.
I only remember reading one story about golf clubs. It was by Irene Dutch -
Solar Eclipse . Even though I knew there was no lead in the golf club, I thought she pulled it off brilliantly. But I just re-read that part of it and she doesn't even mention any lead - only that it may help as barrier to give Jon Kent a bit of time to recover. It's an excellent story.
Are there other stories about golf clubs being used to fend off kryptonite?
