Is Playing Golf Bad For Your Health?

This may seem an odd question to ask about one of the most popular sports in the world and one which players swear keeps them fit and healthy. But it is a fair one. Golf is healthy, but often the conditions it is played in are not. Everyone knows that excessive exposure to sunlight is bad for the skin. Think about how much time you spend in the sun playing golf. An average foursome takes about 15 to 20 minutes per hole and so 18 holes can take 4 to 6 hours. That is a lot of sun exposure. And if you are someone who plays 3 or 4 times a week, that totals to about one full day in the sun, per week.

What do you do? You could wear long sleeved shirts and long pants, but often in summer that’s like being in a steam bath for hours on end – not the best way to enjoy a game. Or you could wear shorts and tee shirts and use sun screen on the exposed parts of your body. That is what most people do in the belief that they are fully protected from the dangers of the sun.

It’s Not That Simple

Sun damage to the skin is caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays. There are 2 types of UV – UVA and UVB. Many sunscreens protect you from UVB rays which are responsible for sunburn and peeling skin. But they do not protect you from UVA. And this is the more dangerous of the 2 because while sunburn is immediately apparent, the damage that UVA causes in terms of premature aging of the skin, sagging, wrinkling and the development of spots may not be apparent until the problem has become a serious one. And both types of UV are causes of skin cancer.

So if covering your whole body does not make sense and if many sunscreens are not as effective as they seem, does that mean you give up on golf? By no means. Skin Care Professionals may tell you to cut down on your outdoor lifestyle to protect your skin. But what true golfer will cut back on his or her passion? Now there is a way to not just protect your skin while on the golf course, but also nourish, rejuvenate and cleanse it to give you the look that the experts promise without having to reduce your time on the greens.
