COVID-19 update for Improve your long game clubs
Based on current NSW Government advice, clubs may allow the communal use of sunscreen via the two sunscreen stands. As with other frequently touched areas and surfaces around the club, sunscreen pumps should be cleaned several times per day with disinfectant solution or wipes.
Alternatively, clubs may place sunscreen bottles in the bathroom or another place where golfers can wash their hands and/or sanitise before using or choose not to supply sunscreen at all. In this case, we suggest that clubs download and display our COVID-19 flyer on the sunscreen stands and consider other strategies to promote best practice sun protection.

Sun safety policy for golf clubs
Outdoor workers, such as green keepers receive five to 10 times more UV exposure per year than indoor workers, putting them at greater risk of skin cancer.
Workplaces can protect their workers from UV exposure by implementing a comprehensive sun protection approach, which includes a policy, training, and provision of information.
Our new sun safety policy for golf clubs provides a range of sun safety control measures that your club can implement to reduce workers exposure to UV. This policy is intended as a guide only. We recommend using aspects to tailor a policy to suit the needs and practicalities of your club.
