On any given Sunday you will see more and more people heading to the golf course to participate in what has become one of the most popular sports in the world. It is no longer a game exclusively for the sport nouveau rich, this relaxing, though sometimes frustrating, is now being played by people of all ages and various walks of life.
With numerous quality courses increased across the country each year, and the state of the art of golf clubs and accessories available for the beginner or wannabe Tiger Woods, golf is now more accessible then ever before. But before the first blow with the new driver, or reach your nine iron be sure to take precautions against the deadly enemies of golfers: the sun.
Consider that a round of golf can take four to six hours to complete, often played when 10.4 sun's ultraviolet rays are strongest, thus increasing the risk of developing skin cancer.
Besides the liberal dose of sunscreen that are expected always applied before teeing off, one of the most important preventive measures you can take, (and with more style) is to use the right hat.
Golf professionals worldwide agree that sun protection hats offer a competitive advantage over other players who struggle in the heat without adequate safeguards against harmful UV rays. PGA Tour Pro Briny Abaird often wears one of those wide-brimmed variety, providing ample protection in the face and neck, freeing it for the most important issues, like the sinking that chip shot next.
Other golf legends such as Sam Snead and Greg Norman also popularized the use of broad-brimmed hats light weight, while in the course. Greg Norman, who grew up in the sun drenched region of northern Australia, often wore the typical surfers brimmed hat of straw around the entire head, including the back of the neck. While playing professionally was able to keep his eyes on the ball at all times, safe from the blinding flashes of light that often plague many golfers.
So what to look for in a hat Golf ?…. Note that a hat is constructed of a durable lightweight material that provides adequate ventilation. Crosscut suede mesh characteristics woven or mesh hats are a good example.
Choose a hat that provides shade for the entire head and neck as much as possible. Wide or medium hats also provide much more protection for the face, ears and neck of common baseball caps, and are suitable for people who play often in sunny conditions.
