Look at the images below. Do
you see any difference in the two hands? These images are of an 83 year old
female who is an avid golfer for more than sixty years. One hand looks 80 and
the other... the gloved hand, looks 40. That is what sun damage does to your
skin and how your glove can protect you.
One of a golfer’s greatest
accessories in his game is his glove. It provides a more secure grip allowing
for a smoother swing. In the end, a firm grip gives you better control over the
direction of the ball.
But, a golfer’s glove is
not just an essential piece of equipment. Like many clothing options, the glove
also serves as protection from sun damage and skin cancer. Clothes offer some
SPF protection from ultraviolet rays, but it is critical that we also apply and
reapply sunscreen during the summer months. As athletes, you enjoy the great
outdoor weather but it is easy to forget to reapply your sunscreen. And with
over one million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year, covering up
will protect your skin and prevent aging your skin.
