A good day on the golf course often means several hours in the sun, which makes sunscreen one of the most important things you can carry in your bag.

At Golf 360 we stock Sun Bum, chosen because it goes on light, doesn't leave your hands greasy, and won't sting your eyes when you sweat. That last part matters more than it sounds, because a sunscreen that stings is a sunscreen you stop wearing.

Getting It Right on Course

New Zealand's UV is among the harshest anywhere, and it's strongest between 10am and 4pm, which covers most tee times. One application at the first tee won't last 18 holes: reapply at the turn, and don't miss the back of the neck, the ears and the backs of the hands, which are the spots golfers most often forget. A golf cap or bucket hat covers what sunscreen struggles to, and a golf umbrella with a UV coating gives you shade between shots.

Protect your skin, stay comfortable, and enjoy your time on the course. Browse the wider golf accessories range for the rest of the on-course essentials.
