Once the rainy season ends, the real heat begins. Although the rain stops and you can enjoy your round, another 'danger' exists. That is the sun. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can be harmful to your skin and health. Thorough and proper preventive measures must be taken. Golfweek in the United States has compiled a list of essential items that weekend golfers filling golf courses must bring during the summer. These are summer golf essentials that will be valuable knowledge.

To block the strong sunlight at the golf course, apply a sunscreen face stick with SPF 50 or higher.

Golf courses have high grass reflectivity, making them one of the sunniest places along with ski resorts. You need to use sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) over 50 for it to be effective. Apply it thickly at first, and considering that sweat can wash it away, reapply every 3 holes. The back of the neck is important because you lower your head every time you putt each hole.

However, most amateur golfers hesitate to apply sunscreen because it feels sticky and uncomfortable. Golfweek recommends an SPF 50 or higher sunscreen face stick. It is oil-free and does not shine. It can be used while on the move. Its perfect size makes it easy to carry in your bag whenever you need sun protection on the golf course.

Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can cause dizziness and other symptoms. If you are sensitive to heat, using a fan is also a good idea. This media highly recommends a Golf Cart Portable Rechargeable Fan that can be charged in the golf cart. "A portable fan is a must-have when playing. Attach it to the cart and you can feel cool all day long," it explained.

Portable fans that can be installed on golf carts are also useful during rounds in extreme heat.

In summer, wisdom to regulate body temperature is necessary. During your round, avoid staying under direct sunlight and rest under trees whenever possible. Golfweek advises using a Sport Cooling Wrap. "It is a product that fits well in your bag. Pour a little water on this towel and wrap it around your neck to cool down quickly," it emphasized.

You must also wear a hat. Protect your scalp. It prevents your skin from burning by blocking heat and ultraviolet rays. Wear a cap, not a visor. The Tour Aussie Hat is popular. This media said, "It plays an excellent role in protecting your face from sunlight. Keep it in your bag for when the sun becomes unbearable. A white hat will match all the clothes you wear."

Bring more gloves than usual. Golfers who sweat a lot on their hands should change gloves frequently. The WeatherSof Golf Glove is the best. "When the weather is hot, gloves get soaked with sweat after just 3 holes. You should keep several in your bag and change them regularly," it advised. Golfweek also recommends bringing UV protection arm sleeves (Solar Block Sleeves), a stowable short sleeve rain jacket, and Tifosi-Centus Sunglasses.
