Wide brimmed hats for Sun Protection?

Help! Sunblock aint cutting it ... my neck is badly burnt ... and could put an abrupt end to my promising career as a weekly hacker

Anyone wearing hats? Or any other suggestions for neck/ ear protection?

Fyi .. Already putting an spf50 lotion before the game, and constantly reapplying a spf30 spray every few holes!

No pain no gain, but this is really really bad!!

Hi Tourswing,

I have seen some people who wears polo tee turn up their collars.

Maybe you should wear mock neck tee or get a buff to cover your neck.

Cheers

Will def turn up my collars the next time around ... buff is an interesting option, am going to shop around for that tomorrow, and look at hats as well! Hmm , buff soaked in ice cold water!!

I got one of those bush hats from beach road market, cost me five bucks.
It shields the neck area perfect.

Don't worry about looks - it's all about protection. I'd say go for the crocodile dundee hats if you need the added protection. (our resident pro, KLT, looks good in 'em)

ya lor, im getting those hats that Bubba Watson wear. I've been turning up my collar for a while but it may not be enough.

You know the dark spots that old folks have in their face and neck. i already have 'em quite a bit, and they grow. My doctor told me that sun exposure drive these skin cells growth.

I tried once wearing a straw hat used by the farmers at the rubber plantation.....big one around 18inches in diameter......fm protection wise it works fine...but when I do my 'over-the hurry-and then result in power fade ' driver shot...the hat will fall off...coz too much resistance against my head motion


something smaller will be great

question is... you want the hat to protect what?

Wear those old style colonial type pith helmet/topee...
I think those quite hard too, can withstand a golf ball hit too...

Buy a buff.... and wear 'up' the neck - worked for me in intense heat...

But it's sooo sooo hot.....

Maybe you can try this from Gmarket



Cheers

I use the Ping Retro Bucket Hat and i think it works great!!!


Or you can try these hats that are supposedly UPF 50+ Sun Protection

Best i would think is this hats that kids still wear these days!!!

Chlorine Resistant All Sport Hat


Ultra Sport Hat


Lite Super Sport Hat



Or if all else fails... Use the Umbrella Hat!!!

Wow, didnt know Buffs are so cool!!!

so that's what Frostee has been wearing for her Ninja Golf look.

i thought it is just some handkerchief

Ive read that the effects are long term ... and we dont even know the true extent of the damage right now ... Itll all show up in years to come ... Drastic times call for drastic measures!!!

Im gonna get some Buffs, and a hat .... If i cant find a hat thats comfortable, these sports hats will do ... Despite how they look!

The cheap way is to safety pin a towel to your cap!
Maybe can get the cool bandana and safety pin it to the cap!

Instant air con

Hmm, now thats what I call being creative!!

Go Check out the Pro Shop at NSRCC at Changi. I did see some bush hats (Some pros there are wearing them) with neck protection that can be folded. I think it was like $35.
