Importance of Protecting Your Skin

Sat, 10/19/2013 - 14:00 -- Don Trahan

One of the best things about golf is where it's played. There are thousands of golf courses around the world, all of which offer their own challenges and trademark holes. But, the one thing they all have in common is that they're outside. If it's a sunny day, any golf trip can be that much more enjoyable. 

Because golfers are outside so much, it's important that we take care of our skin. Protection from the sun is critically important. If you don't protect your skin and your eyes from the sun, you might end up being forced to give up the game. So, what are the best ways to block the sun's rays so you can play golf as long as you can?

I have spent the summer experimenting with all kinds of sunscreens, sprays lotions and even some makeup type products and most all of them are oily and have to be reapplied mid-round. What do the Surge and DJ use? Surely there is something out there that won't leave me in fear of my clubs sliding out of my hands.

Thank you for your help,

Sun block can leave an oily residue, so if you feel like you need to wash your hands, just have a towel handy during your round. Sunglasses and hats are also recommended. Much of this is common sense, but I still see a ton of golfers getting burned on the course when they don't have to.

Protect that skin and stay out there!
