Cancer Council NSW’s Improve your long game this Summer!
Coffs Harbour Golf Club is one of over 100 golf clubs across the state who are taking part in Cancer Council NSW’s Improve your long game program this summer.
The program is all about encouraging golfers to use sun protection every time they play and we’re here to ensure that our members keep themselves protected when out on the course.
Remember that 95% of all skin cancers are caused by overexposure to UV and during the summer months, UV hits extreme levels. This makes sun protection even more important so remember to:
• Wear long-sleeved clothing
• Apply sunscreen
• Wear a broad brimmed hat
• Find shade wherever possible
• Wear sunglasses
As you walk around the club and on the course this summer, you’ll see posters, sunscreen stands and videos on display. Take a moment to read a poster, apply sunscreen, or ask your golf pro about how you can reduce your melanoma risk.
We received feedback last year that the sun screen on course left a greasy residue on hands that affected your golf grip. As a result the Cancer Council have provided us with dry touch sunscreen. We urge our members to use this sunscreen each and every time they go on course.
