Actually it help to reduce too much exposure to the sun esp when if you played at least once a week.

But in the States, most of my USA colleuages wore short to play golf as they find the weather really hot during summer and I would be the only odd one wearing long pants playing golf with them whenever I travel over there. So now, I pack a bermuda along.

long sleeves and long pants for me now to keep out of the sun as much as i can.

clothings are still better protection against the sun compared to SPF1000 sun block.

Invisible (to humans) UV light can go thru clothing.

Same here. Find rather hot with bermuda and thus invested in few golf pants which i find more comfortable and also more cooling albeit not getting enuf sunliglight on my legs....

hmm....

i still prefer bermuda if play here...i keep a wet towel with me, and from time to time, it helps to keep me cool and fresh and also wipe away sand, dust and sweat...no sunblock, no long pants (unless i play in cool weather)...and i enjoy being getting a bit dark...well, that's just me...keke

Bro, another few years down the road, you will talk differently with regret about not putting any sunblock for the face. I should know because my friend who is 10 years my junior, played golf once a week and never put any sunblock when golfing like you. Now his face is like a pond parched from drought. Its too late for him to do anything now. Well, of course the decision is all up to you.

For me, face put sunblock, neck put sunblock and other more exposed areas.

Alll in all, I like the look of Jib-bra.....( a word created by the creator of 'boomz')

Actually initially I do not believe in sun block and/or protection for the face, arms and legs. But after knowing that playing golf about 4 hours in the sun is too much for our skins to take, especailly if you played often or at least once a week.

Face will be parched , arms will be burnt and moreover really no good for the skin.

But now starting to take care of myself... I really think it is worthwhile to protect yourselves especially in our weather here where the Sun really sorch like nobody business (ha... it will get hotter in the coming few months)

I used to be very 'Gang Hoh' to golf without any protection... sun burn or lobster face became a normal thingy after a golf game. But my friend was warning me constantly that I should take care of myself... no longer 16-18 years old... hehe

So I started wearing long pants and using sun block. Very uncomfortable at first but I feel much better after a game. Last time I used to feel dead tired and restless after a game... but after using 'protection', I feel much much better...

Oh no, now I know need to spend so much on facial stuff, I better go buy some sunblock lotion...haha !
