A Driving Passion

Few sportsmen are as passionate about their sport as golfers. There is little that can keep a golfer away from their game and when play is not possible, they tend to get fidgety and restless. Obviously, when they are playing, they are completely immersed in the game, to the exclusion of almost all else. And that includes caring for their health. Most golfers know that excessive exposure to the sun not only damages their skin but that it can also lead to skin cancer, a disease that has reached epidemic proportions in America. They take what precautions they can and hope for the best because golf comes first.

Living In Hope

Golf is a game of physical skill and mental toughness. It is also a game of hope. Every golfer hopes to reduce her handicap, make a hole in one and play LPGA tournaments. There's nothing wrong with this and in fact, it is this hope that drives players to keep improving their game. But merely hoping that your health is protected is not a good thing. Forget, for a moment, about something as life threatening as skin cancer. Even sun damaged skin (or the threat of it) can affect a golfer's psyche and impair their game. Hope is fine, but when the thought of that the sun is doing to your skin is at the back of your mind, your concentration and focus will suffer. This is something that golfers often do not realize until the threat is removed and without this burden of worry, they find their game has improved. So how do you take sun damaged skin out of the equation?

Sunscreens Are Not Enough

There are 3 types of rays that damage the skin - UVA, UVB and UVC. The UV stands for Ultra Violet and these rays are invisible to the eye. UVC rays are absorbed by the atmosphere before they reach the surface of the earth and pose no danger. Sunscreens can absorb most of the UVB rays and protect the skin. UVA is another matter. Recent research shows that most sunscreens do not offer protection from UVA. And UVA is as dangerous and damaging to the skin as the others. The other problem with most sunscreens is that they are effective only for a couple of hours, after which they need to be re-applied. Stopping in the middle of a round of golf to put on more sunscreen is not something that will improve your concentration and focus.
