Here is my problem......I love golf and happen to be BALD. I need advice on head wear. South Texas summers cause me to sweat and with no hair to absorb the sweat I constantly ruin all head wear. I love wearing baseball caps but hate the tan line around the back of my head. I put on sunscreen but that does not help much. I have tried bucket hats, which I like but that does not solve the sweat problem. Is there a beanie type product I could wear under my hat to absorb sweat. Does anyone have suggestions from things they have tried. Not the worst problem to have but I could sure use some advice. I currently buy 2 of every hat, one for the round, and one for before and after. Being a head sweater and bald sucks!!!!!!!!!

I'm bald by choice (shaved) and use sun screen in the summer to prevent the tan-line. I guess I'm not much help...I guess looking at your problem, I'd go with a sweat ban under the bucket hat.

Try the beanie's that are made by companies like under armour. They whisk away the sweat without cooking your brain! and they fit tight enough that you can still wear a bucket or any other type of hat. And come in a variety of colors. Try it out. Good luck.

Combine with the workout top and bottoms for a truly epic golf outfit.

+1 on the Under Armour "skull" cap... I have worn one under my hockey helmet, works great for keeping sweat out of your eyes... One of those with a large bucket hat should work well.

I am also bald (shaved actually). My only thing is that I only wear fitted hats. The tan line isn't ideal, but I can live with it. Most of the time I will put on a little sunscreen and go without a hat for a few holes when the sun is behind me to try and even out the tan. That works pretty good, but keeps me sweating. I have never tried the skull cap, but I don't mind the sweat on the hat. I am not real comfortable in the bigger Greg Norman hats, and my face gets burned if I wear a bucket hat so I stick with the regular baseball hat.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

When I rode a sport bike I used to wear this modified bandana under my helmet. You would have the knot in the back to deal with but that could aid in keeping the sun off the back of your neck. Who knows, you could start a new fad.

Just a thought...

If you want something to wear under your hat I'd look for a "Headsweats" or similar item (probably similar to the UA stuff others have mentioned). Check out a cycling store - some good choices for cyclists to wear under their helmets.

To the OP...if the main problem with wearing the baseball style hat is ruining the headwear...I share the same issue and this summer after playing...the hat would be thoroughly soaked with sweat, brim saturated. I briefly soaked the hat under cold water for 10-15 seconds to rinse the sweat and then let the hat drip dry in the shower making sure it hung on the shower head in the correct formation. I rotate 5-6 hats I got this year and they all look great. They've all retained 85-90% of their original color. I even bought a white Titleist logo hat with green stitching and my girlfriend offered to soak it in vinegar to keep the color from running....worked like a charm.

Add another recommendation for the UnderArmor beanie beneath whatever hat/cap you wear. I wear one under my motorcycle helmet to keep the sweat under control. It'll soak with sweat, but if you take it off once in a while, wring it out and give it a few shakes it will dry out quickly.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
