In the game of golf, trees aren't your friend and if you're staying on the fairway, shade can be difficult to find. It's no surprise then that golfers are at high risk for skin cancer. A round can mean prolonged sun exposure, often during the sunniest hours of the day. Thankfully, there are a few simple things you can do to protect your skin without sacrificing your game.
1. Advantage of Those Twilight Deals
Whenever possible, schedule your rounds very early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun is less intense. Many golf courses offer discounted rates for late tee-off times 

2.Seek the Shade
While trees may not be your friend on the course, there are other structures you can use for shade to give your skin a much-needed break from dangerous UV rays. There are covers that can be placed on golf carts and umbrellas that are specially designed for UV protection.

3.Wear Sun Protectice Clothing
Clothing is your first line of defense when it comes to sun protection. Long sleeves and long pants provide the greatest coverage . A number of manufacturers make sun protective clothing designed for the golf course so it’s easy to find pieces that are lightweight and game-appropriate.

4.Wear A Hat
Baseball caps and visors, however, are good options which will stay in place and provide coverage to your face. Be sure to cover your ears and neck with sunscreen as these areas are still exposed.

5.Wear Sunscreen
choose the sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to all exposed areas 30 minutes before heading out to the course. Look for a sport formula which is sweat resistant and won’t run into your eyes. And remember to reapply every two hours, or more often if you are sweating heavily.

6.Protect Your Eyes
Not only do they help to protect your skin, but some players say they improve visibility and reduce glare. In selecting a pair, look for one that will block 99-100 % of UV radiation, protecting the eye, eyelid and surrounding areas.
