Best sunscreen for golf?

[need_my_wedge]

I've used Banana Boat Sport for years, but seems very difficult to get hold of this year, what is available is mostly through Amazon and a little pricey.

Looking for a good alternative, any recommendations? Needs to be spf30 or more, good resistance to sweat, and doesn't leave greasy marks on the shirt.

Trees??

Trees??

Is that you’re excuse for progressing down the side of each hole Rob?

I used some of Missis Ts “Lancaster” last year, it was fantastic.

This stuff is great, usually in 30, 40 & 50 spf
Spray-on so its easy to apply, colourless and dries pretty quick so its not icky. I put it on before teeing off and don't need to top up at all


edit: oh and don't get the one with Citronella added unless you like that smell (most versions don't have it anyway and are pretty odorless)

Any old factor 50 works for me and I burn

Whatever the kids use lol ?

If it's good enough to be approved to protect their skin then I will be fine

Nivea SPF 50 and a hat.

I'm fair skinned and burn easily. I've always taken care but still had a carcinoma removed from my face a few years ago. Since then I've been extra careful. Previously I've used Boots Factor 50+ but it does stain clothing. I've recently changed to Ultrasun SPF 50 Sports Gel sunscreen. It's transparent, doesn't stain and use less likely to run when you sweat. It's not the cheapest but it's not something I'm going to skimp on.

Hawaiian Tropic helps you neutralise the spin on a gentle cut shot.

I have been told that the Isaw Ucumin brand is first class and also adds 25 yards to your drives.

When I read the OP my first reaction was ‘duh, stupid question’ wear what ever you like as long as you are protected.

Then I thought ‘oh hang on’, I could do with knowing which one is good, as I have stopped applying lotion mid round due to getting slippy hands. ?

So I’m watching with intent now ?

That's why I went for the Ultrasun. It lasts for long enough for a full round of golf without topping up.

I slap the lotion on before leaving home, then wash hands. I have a spray in the bag for topping up mid-round if necessary and a stick (works like a lipstick) for the hooter and lips.

 

[slowhand]

Either Ultrasun Sport spray on (SPF 50) or Nivea Dry Sport Sun Spray SPF 50 (the aerosol one) for arms, neck & face and an Ultrasun 30SPF stick for the lips

Surely you need to go for a fitting?

I have used Calypso from Aldi for a while. It’s similar to P20 but a fraction of the price. Apply once and it stays put all day. Also sweat resistant etc - I have used it for long distance triathlons and it’s been great. Would recommend.

 

[gopher99]

Riemann P20 lasts easily 5 hours, more than enough time for a round,

This would probably do the job with a decent hat.
