Is it gay to use your umbrella to shade the sun on a hot day?

[Webster]

Would appreciate some honest answers. Do you do it?

[Iain]

We were discussing this at Nudgee yesterday morning....

Yes, yes it is...

[Grunt]

I thought about doing it on Saturday but reneged.

[Jarro]

I don't think it's gay.

It makes good sense in the blistering sun we have in Australia.

More time in the shade during a round the better.

[GolfBallWhackerGuy]

With the possibility of skin cancer and dying young and not getting to spend more time with loved ones and not being able to play golf anymore bcoz of death, I dont think its ghey. My $0.02.

[TheTrueReview]

No, but it's definitely gay to give two hoots about what others think.

[LarryLong]

Just hit your ball into the trees and you don't have to worry about shading yourself with your umbrella.

Works for me.

[just]

Yes, yes it is, but it keeps me out of the sun and I embraced my sexuality long ago.

[WBennett]

Jerry was almost going to put his umbrella up yesterday until goaded by a fellow player.

We chose to stand under the shade of trees instead.

Umbrellas are for rainy days. Just wear a ton of Banana Boat instead and toughen up

[matty]

Post #6 says it all.

Until a few months ago I would have said it was gay but I've used the umbrella holder numerous times when it's been raining and have thought the next time I'm sweating my arse off in the sun I will have no dramas about using it.

I reckon it will start to become commonplace.

[goughy]

I don't think it's gay.

It makes good sense in the blistering sun we have in Australia.

More time in the shade during a round the better.

So if you deem it the height of sensibility, how often during a round do you do it :mrgreen:

[mike]

Yes.

[Jarro]

So if you deem it the height of sensibility, how often during a round do you do it :mrgreen:

Didn't so it yesterday as my umbrella holder was broken, but i'll fix it and use it as often as possible.

I think it's gay, but in a clever sort of way ;)

[idgolfguy]

I don't think it's gay.

On the money!

[Sasquatch]

I don't. I've felt the kiss of dry ice on my nose to burn off a sun spot so maybe I should.

[Moe Norman]

I usually hit it in the trees most fo the time, so there is no need.

[Sydney Hacker]

I usually hit it in the trees most fo the time, so there is no need.

That's just smart bush/country golf though isn't it ? Hit it from one patch of shade to the next.

[Jarro]

Too many mozzies in the shade :(

[Hamo84]

considering it was 43 here yesterday and again today If i did play I would take the umbrella. However if it was only like 30-35 I wouldnt use it

[AndyP]

Umbrellas are too heavy.

[Muza]

Is it gay to wear a hat? same thing isnt it...

[henno]

Is it gay to wear a hat? same thing isnt it...

Is is gay to have sex with a man rather than a woman? Same thing isn't it?

[Veefore]

No. It isn't.

Not doing it because you think you might look gay is very vain and maybe even an attempt hide some latent homosexuality.

Ironic really since the result of skin cancers is ugly and the only people you (think you) are impressing by looking so "tough" is other men you play with. Unless of course you are playing with only ladies. In which case they probably all have their umbrellas up and think you are just stupid.

[PeteyD]

Skin cancer kills. Hats and umbrellas are good.

[Jarro]

Exactly

[Hamo84]

Skin cancer kills. Hats and umbrellas are good.
agree

[henno]

Um, this thread doesn't say "is sun protection gay". It's just one particular form of sun protection. I'm rather certain that an umbrella is not the only way to avoid skin cancer.

[drnick]

Yep, I am going to start to. Bugger it, I rather not get skin cancer!!

S

[LarryLong]

I'm pretty sure this guy reckons umbrellas are gay:

http://twinsafariredsea.com/images/Bedouin_Resting.jpg

And he doesn't have to worry about skin cancer.

[goonie]

I don't think trying avoid the sun in the skin cancer state is a problem, especially if you can still get burnt after 2-3 coats of suncream. But I am starting to wonder if all the vain people who are worried about what people look like and do are metro or gay, I thought only the gay and metro were worried what others thought of them, real men wouldn't give a ****. Unless it's really gay like wearing a pink shirt or having your boxers hang out the top of your pants :-)

[PeteyD]

So you play golf in that outfit?

[Eag's]

So your gay if you use iron covers, bucket hatts & Umbrellas?
In that case poor old Rusty will never show his face at another Oz Golf day ;)

[sms316]

Only if you think it is attractive.

[Dotty]

It is politically incorrect to use an 'umbrella' to shade the sun.

The correct term is parasol.



ps. I've never thought of using one, as I usually associate them with those dawdling around the course and holding up play. After hearing the case for the defence, I may spend the extra and get the bracket for the smoothy.

Agreed Dotty.

All this sun talk has made me put away the visor. Could an umbrella be next?

[zigwah]

More gay than iron covers as you would stand out more, just get in the shade as much as possible.

[Yossarian]

It is not ghey if you walk around throwing out ProV's and playing awful golf.

Otherwise it is ghey.

But sensible.

[zigwah]

is it gay to get your wife to **** you in the arse with a strapon?

[Grunt]

It depends if she uses lube.

[Webster]

only if she reaches around

[Jarro]

It depends if she uses lube.

speaking from experience ?

An umbrella on your buggy is not ghey .... get over it you homophobes !!!!!

[Dotty]

If your name is Portia, then 'Yes'.

[Yossarian]

No I just imagine that if it is ghey you'd be after as much sensation as possible.

This could be heading some dangerous places.

[Jarro]

I think it already has, no thanks to you ghey boy :p

[Yossarian]

Aren't you guys from the banana loving state?

[henno]

Oh, I think I understand now. Umbrellas aren't ghey... golf buggies are ghey.

Gotcha! ;)

[All-star]

Depends on what colour your umbrella is.

[markTHEblake]

If you head up north, you will find that umbrellas on holders is very common for sun protection. I tried using one but i thought it was too hot under the umbrella.

[GolfBallWhackerGuy]

Get one of those reflector umbrellas. They reflect the sun away and you stay cool under it.

[solarman]

is it gay to get your wife to **** you in the arse with a strapon?

maybe the strap on is an umbrella....now that would hurt, especially if she opened it when in

It was a reflector umbrella.

Doesnt sound like you are very familiar with playing up north?
There is no way you can be kept cool under an umbrella in 90-100% humidity, its like a microwave.

Blake - nobody forces you to play in it.

This is one of my pet peeves. Golfers coming into the office during/after a round and saying how cool it is inside and how they would rather be in here. Bullshit - I'll trade spots any day.

[markTHEblake]

Blake - nobody forces you to play in it.

Played in it for 8 years in Darwin all year round, loved it, never once didnt play because of heat or humidity.

You misunderstand, I am not complaining about anything. Just making a statement of fact that I didnt like using the umbrella for shade because it is hotter in that environment.

[Webster]

Would you rather be dead or be a poof?

you can be both.

[henno]

I may never say this again, so remember this moment...

I agree with Blakey.

[markTHEblake]

I agree with Blakey.

No you dont, you agree with common sense. I just said it first.

[just]

I don't agree with Blakey, but can't be bothered arguing about it.

[Iain]

You have turned over a new leaf....

[Rusty]

i read in a manual it's only ghey if you hold the brolley.

[MegaWatty]

Hmmmmm....How many WA boys will be under the brolly on Sunday? Mine isn't a UV one, so I reckon it might draw heat?!?!?

[idgolfguy]

I'll have mine with me but don't have an umbrella stand.

[MegaWatty]

Might have a spare stand.

I'm heading towards using one at this stage.

[matty]

Forgot my hat yesterday but thought it would be okay because of the heavy cloud cover. Naturally the cloud cover went on the second hole. I got burnt to a crisp and to make matters worse played terribly. It would have been the perfect opportunity to use the umbrella but I didn't even think about it. DOH.

[Minor_Threat]

Using umbrellas to shield from the sun is ultra gay. It is ultra ultra gay if you are using an umbrealla holder on your buggy for assisstance.

What is wrong with a hat and sunscreen?

[Dotty]

It's gay to dance around like Gene Kelly with your umbrella on a hot day.

[jaybam]

Have used it before and will use it again. I want to see my kids grow up.

[AndyP]

Forgot my hat yesterday but thought it would be okay because of the heavy cloud cover. UV rays aren't too scared of cloud cover. It's best to wear one anyway.

[BrisWesty]

Being sufficiently comfortable in my sexuality to use iron covers, I'm prepared to go the extra mile and use a brolly to provide a bit of shade. There's nothing pleasant about melanoma or heatstroke or blistering in the sun.

[Courty]

[zigwah]

whats wrong with trees for a bit of shade, we need a bit of vit D.

Interesting fact: the number of babys born who are vitamin D deficient has risen dramaticaly since we started using more sunscreen.

True story pead at the royal womens told me.

[TheTrueReview]

whats wrong with trees for a bit of shade, we need a bit of vit D.

....

Walking outside to pick up the newspaper from the footpath provides a 'bit' of vitamin D. Walking around a golf course under the Australian sun provides exposure to harmful UV rays.

[LarryLong]

All this sun-smart talk is getting to me. I bowled 14 overs of medium pace on the weekend with a hat on. Does that make me gay?

[zigwah]

well theres heaps of shade at my golf course, no need to be in the blazing sun all the time.

Maybe the umbrella hugging brigade need more trees at the courses they play

[KristianJ]

All this sun-smart talk is getting to me. I bowled 14 overs of medium pace on the weekend with a hat on. Does that make me gay?

If it was a Chappell Hat, did you have drawstring to keep it on your head and counteract the wind resistance from the brim?

[TheTrueReview]

All this sun-smart talk is getting to me. I bowled 14 overs of medium pace on the weekend with a hat on. Does that make me gay?

No, but not being able to bowl quick does. ;)

[LarryLong]

If it was a Chappell Hat, did you have drawstring to keep it on your head and counteract the wind resistance from the brim?
It was a 'baggy blue', but at the pace I'm bowling these days I could probably get the job done in a sombrero without too much fuss. :)

TTR, you're not the first to make that observation :)

[KristianJ]

Larry, unless it's a homage to Greg Matthews, I think it's fine. In addition, I don't think it's anything compared to keepers wearing helmets to spin bowlers.

[markTHEblake]

Interesting fact: the number of babys born who are vitamin D deficient has risen dramaticaly since we started using more sunscreen.

How does that work, unborn babies cant get sun exposure? :lol:


I suppose you mean that their mothers are not producing vitamin d while pregnant as they are hiding from the sun ( if that sort of thing is passed on by the mother)

Not really sure how this theory works out but its interesting - more info please

[zigwah]

thats all i have, because our baby was vitamin d deficient and the reason you state in you rsecond paragraph is the reason the pead gave me

[markTHEblake]

you only need about 10mins of sun a day to get enough, as i understand it.

[TheTrueReview]

I'll recount some of the words of the plastic surgeon, Owen Williams, who removed a melanoma from me some years ago.


Caucasian people are an introduced species animal in Australia. They come from Northern Europe where their fair skin is not exposed to the UV rays of the strength as that in Australia.
The native people of Australia & the other places close to the equator don't have dark skin for nothing. It protects them against the UV rays.
There's no such thing as a safe tan.
Caucasian Australians should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun & protect themselves with [insert everything].
If I didn't remove the melanoma it would've killed you.

[zigwah]

i don't know i havent got a degree, the dude that told me did though ;)

[henno]

you only need about 10mins of sun a day to get enough, as i understand it.

I am lead to believe it is even less. Basically, the sun you catch walking to/from the car and other general "travelling" is enough to avoid a deficiency. a few minutes in total is enough, which leads me to believe that 2 hours in the sun with suncream on (which doesn't block 100%) will be more than plenty.

Useless fact: Vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin.

P.S. I have a degree, so zig has to believe me.

[haysey]

If I didn't remove the melanoma it would've killed you.




I've had pretty much exactly the same thing said to me. It does get your attention.

[markTHEblake]

Caucasian people are an introduced species in Australia.


all good points except that Caucasian is not a species. The Human Race is a species. :wink:Caucasian is just a name to classify a people group based on some common features.

(I dont have a degree either)

[TheTrueReview]

... The Human Race is a species. ....

...

Thanks MTB. Post edited accordingly. Sometimes I wonder about the species. The stupid ones seem to breed faster than everyone else. ;)

[henno]

You're obviously referring to the "bogan" species. It's amazing what a baby bonus will do.

[markTHEblake]

Thanks MTB. Post edited accordingly. Sometimes I wonder about the species. The stupid ones seem to breed faster than everyone else. ;)

Thats cool, as long as you did not advocate that some 'people groups' have evolved more than others, coz that would have seriously racial undertones! :wink:

[henno]

Evolution's a myth anyway. Humans were put on this earth last week and were simply implanted with memories.

[markTHEblake]

How come i got a overdue notice in the mail from the library on monday?

[henno]

Diversionary tactics.

[Jarro]

Well, i don't really give a rats what any of you tossers think ..... i'll be opening the brolly up if it's sunny enough.

Might even take to wearing the undershirt fulltime too.

[Daves]

[DracZ]

BTW guys, as a more practical alternative - compression gear provides UPF +15 uv-protection. You could wear a regular polo + some compression sleeves, allowing you to keep cool whilst still providing adequate sun protection.

[idgolfguy]

Have umbrella holder on buggy and will use it. If not, man up and carry your bag.

[Ashes]

Would appreciate some honest answers. Do you do it?

Having just had a skin cancer cut out of my nose at age 33, I wouldn't be too concerned what others think...

Best thing I can suggest, aside from protecting yourself in the first place, is to find a trustworthy specialist and get checked regularly. For me it was the difference between a prominent scar, and an aftermarket silicone nose.

[Ferrins]

Did you search gay to dig this up Yoss?

[markTHEblake]

I have never found a combination that makes the umbrella stand high enough. So it is too hot in the sun and in the rain it makes my glasses fog up. Briswesty doea not appear to have an issue though

[Daves]

I have never found a combination that makes the umbrella stand high enough. So it is too hot in the sun and in the rain it makes my glasses fog up.

The Smoothy Umbrellas have an extra long handle and give you lots of extra height. The problem is that with the extra long handle the umbrella becomes somewhat of a pain to carry at other times, as it longer than most drivers and sticks out in the way.

[markTHEblake]

I shove my brolly flat on the buggy. Keeps it out of the way nicely.

[Yossarian]

I do it. Get a tall handled umbrella, and it is heaps better
More air circulation, canopy further from your head = heaps better

[grandmasterb]

Who cares what you look like if it means your not going to get burnt or skin cancer???

I'm with the others and my smoothy having the umbrella not high enough when mounted so moved my mount further up the handle.

[LeftyHoges]

What is a good golf umbrella? What does it need to match?

Waterproof pants, of course! Duh! :lol:

[markTHEblake]

Too hot under an umbrella. And how does Courty fit under one anyway, circus tent poles?

Did you happen to note that everyone with their umbrella up was close to 100 years old SMS????
Dont tar all of us because of a few.....


Besides, after seeing those shorts that you wore, calling Canberra ghey reminds me of a story with a pot or kettle in it, or was it a briar bush? Or a tar baby? shit I cant remember now, better get back to my drinking........

[sms316]

It's currently 21 degrees and cloudy with no rain at all and Tiger Hamilton has the umbrella up on the holder.

Pro homo?

[Icestorm959]

I called mate out on this when he had his umbrella out at the weekend - temperature was only 28 and sun wasn't even that fierce.

I can live with my wife doing it though haha.

[mike]

I have bought an umbrella holder for my smoothy and have officially joined the umbrella brigade.

Yes.

ROFE.What does ROFE stand for?

[3Puttpete]

Did you get a large brolly Mike? As long as you get plenty of shade, don't worry about what people say

It's probably more like a parasol mate. I'm thinking of taking the tassels off but the glitter is a nice touch.

[SundayHack]

There are definitely gayer things in life then protecting yourself from skin cancer.

There are definitely gayer things in life then protecting yourself from skin cancer.There are other ways to protect yourself from skin cancer that still allow you to retain your dignity.

Using an umbrella is undignified for a man, and yet wearing lilac and neon pink on the golf course is "trendy"..

[sms316]

Using an umbrella is undignified for a man, and yet wearing lilac and neon pink on the golf course is "trendy".. Absolutely.

[Jarro]

Umbmrellas are cool

[sms316]

Umbmrellas are cool In the rain, or shielding a 70yo woman from the sun.

[markTHEblake]

Using an umbrella is undignified for a man, and yet wearing lilac and neon pink on the golf course is "trendy"..Mike can't help it. He was born that way.

[Waddzy]

Using an umbrella is undignified for a man, and yet wearing lilac and neon pink on the golf course is "trendy"..Providing the belt matches the shoes .. yes.

[LeftyHoges]

Umbmrellas are cool

Umbrellas aren't though.


Providing the belt matches the shoes .. yes.

Bless, another child!

[Tank33]

Umbrellas could be gay but putting up with the hot sun without much protection is stupid and I rather be gay than stupid.

[mike]

That's exactly what blakey said.

[markTHEblake]

The gay umbrella users do so because they can't handle the heat, its not anything to do with sunburn protection.

If you don't want to play out in the sun, go take up an indoor sport.

I had my third BCC cut out last month. The brolly stays.

[markTHEblake]

Yes. I see asian ladies do it all the time.If you don't want to play out in the sun, go take up an indoor sport.by that logic you also mean that people who wear hats, sunscreen or sunglasses should also not play golf.P.s. umbrellas on hot days is still gay.

[Hidepenny]

that's the asian ladies secret and often that's the reason they look decades younger than their actual age!

[Ferrins]

Played with a guy at Ballina GC who had one. Told him it was pretty faggy but he was chuffed about it.

[Shreko]

After not much brain thought, I would rather be a living breathing umbrella toker than dead!!!!!!!! and if I was a vampire, might be handy

Drove past Ballina today. Love that there are no fences around it and looked in great condition. Nice course?

yep, unlike the weathered old krones that the bronzed aussie ladies turn into by the time they reach 40.

Look at the shadow under the guy in the blue shirt. He'd almost provide as much shade as the umbrella! I probably can't talk though :)

[benno_r]

If it is as hot there as it is in Darwin right, I can only say:

Bring a lot of c*ck cause every walker uses one up here.

Was a very risky drop that one.

[BrisWesty]

I'm not sure how you get to stand on them, but they probably deserve it.

More seriously, the mini umbrella is a line that should never be crossed - this coming from a guy with iron covers, who uses an umbrella for shade, plays using a clone set, and wears a cricket hat.
