9 Ways To Keep Cool This Golf Season

July 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Golfers know that a great shot is 90% mental. It is a great game. It demands more focus than any other sport. But you only really need that focus for the time it takes to execute a golf swing.  You can’t be thinking about: the trees on the right, the hot sun beating down on your head, whether you put sunscreen on or not, etc., when you have 158 yards over water to a front pin. Or you’ll never have a chance.  But just like any other form of physical activity, there are risks of injury.  As amateur and professional golfers swing, walk the course, putt, or beat the bunker blues, they know that it’s important for them to protect themselves from the sun.  With over two million Americans diagnosed annually, skin cancer is now the most common cancer and the number of cases is growing.  Dermatologists now believe that everyone should use sun protection on exposed skin every day, even on cloudy days.  One company has got you covered.  Sunday Afternoons Inc. offers originally designed, stylish and affordable sun wear.
