50 million people play golf each year with a choice of around 32,000 different courses to choose from in the world. 160 million rounds of golf are played just in Europe alone each year. With the average round taking about 4.5hours, that's a staggering 720 million hours out in the open air and being exposed to UV, even when it's cloudy!
It's a growing sport and the number of junior golfers taking part in golf has also grown rapidly. It is so important to be protected from skin damage at a young age, but even one round a week between April and October will potentially expose a young person to 117 hours of UV. One round of golf will expose you to 27 times the level of recommend UV without protection.
These statistics are not just for golfers abroad, but also for the millions of people who play golf in the UK.
It is important to protect your skin against the harmful and damaging effects of the sun but sportsmen are often reluctant to use adequate sun protection because they hate the feel of greasy lotions on the skin when perspiring. TECHNIblock sun protection spray is unique in that it does not contain oils or emulsifiers, such as lanolin. One quick, cooling spray and it dries instantly on the skin, leaving behind just the ingredients that are needed to protect the skin from the sun. It won't mark clothing and it's fragrance free so it won't irritate even the most sensitive of skins.
There is often little respite from the sun when you are walking the golf course, and if you are in Europe or further afield, the sun can be particularly fierce so it is reassuring that there is now an excellent sun protection available that will keep you protected for hours without the need to re-apply, no matter how hot it gets.
Apply TECHNIblock Sun Spray before going out onto the course and you will be protected for over 6 hours. It can be hot and hard work walking the fairways but TECHNIblock has little presence on the skin and is breathable, so you'll stay feeling comfortable even if perspiring!
