HERE'S WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING...

I arrived back in Seattle last night after what turned out to be a very successful
event in Portland. The weather cooperated until early afternoon when the showers
arrived, but fortunately everyone was in the clubhouse by that point. Your product
was a hit and I had two people come up to me and thank us for the great items; in
fact, I overhead one of the players saying that they had never heard of a combined
sunscreen grip product! Well, time to change that perception, right?

Oh wow! Thank you so much. I truly have never experienced dealing with a company
that is so attentive to customer service. I can't tell you how refreshing it has
been to deal with you personally and your wonderful organization.
I look forward to receiving my package. Had I seen you other email before I placed
my order, I would have taken advantage of the 2 pack deal to save a few dollars. I
will remember to do that the next time!
Sincerely,
Beth Herriott

I agree on reapplying as that is one of our biggest issues I am in
the US Army ( I have been in for 24 years now).
I did receive the product and tried it out the very next day.You have developed an
incredible product and I look forward to many years of
use. Thank you for finally developing a quality product that actually
increased my grip on my clubs instead of feeling greasy all day.
I am now carrying 4 packets in my bag at all times so
I am ready for that short notice golf game.

I have no issue with you quoting me as I am now a fan of your product.

R,
Rich Howard

Gregg Norman speaks out against skin cancer

2010-04-27T10:36:00.000-07:00

Gregg Norman
More than 1 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year. Skin cancer accounts for more than one-half of all cancers diagnosed in the United States annually, making it the most common form of cancer despite being one of the most preventable.
Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer. The AAD recommends that golfers follow these sun protection guidelines:
Apply a broad-spectrum waterproof sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 - thirty minutes before tee time and reapply at the turn.
Ride in a covered cart for less sun exposure.
Wear protective, tightly woven clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt and pants.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers the face and ears, and sunglasses with UV protection.
Seek shade while waiting at the tee or when play has stopped.
Use lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher and reapply at the turn.
No shadow…seek the shade! If your shadow is shorter than you are, you're likely to sunburn.
Consider wearing a glove on each hand.
REMEMBER, the sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tee off before 8 a.m. or after 4 p.m.
Know your skin! Examine your entire body regularly. If you find anything suspicious, see your dermatologist.
"I am often asked for golf tips, but, practicing sun safety is my best advice," said Norman. "It may not improve your golf game, but it could save your life."

Protect your skin with clothing

2010-04-27T10:26:00.001-07:00

Clothes provide different levels of protection, depending on many factors. Long-sleeved shirts, long pants, or long skirts are the most protective. Dark colors generally provide more protection than light colors. A tightly woven fabric protects better than loosely woven clothing. Dry fabric is generally more protective than wet fabric.
Be aware that covering up doesn't block out all UV rays. A typical light T-shirt worn in the summer usually provides less protection than a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
A few companies in the United States now make clothing that is lightweight, comfortable, and protects against UV exposure even when wet. Some sun-protective clothes have a label listing the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) value -- the level of protection the garment provides from the sun's UV rays (on a scale from 15 to 50+). The higher the UPF, the higher the protection from UV rays.
Newer products are also available to increase the UPF value of clothes you already own. Used like laundry detergents, they add a layer of UV protection to your clothes without changing the color or texture.

How Many People Get Melanoma Skin Cancer?

2010-04-27T10:25:00.001-07:00

The American Cancer Society's most recent estimates for melanoma in the United States are for 2009:
68,720 new cases of melanoma
8,650 deaths from melanoma
Skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. Melanoma accounts for less than 5% of skin cancer cases. But it causes most skin cancer deaths. The number of new cases of melanoma in the United States has not changed much in the last 8 years. Overall, the lifetime risk of getting melanoma is about 1 in 50 for whites, 1 in 1,000 for blacks, 1 in 200 for Hispanics. Last Medical Review: 07/01/2008Last Revised: 05/06/2009

Guidelines for School Programs To Prevent Skin Cancer

2010-04-27T10:24:00.001-07:00

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Since 1973, new cases of the most serious form of skin cancer, melanoma, have increased approximately 150%. During the same period, deaths from melanoma have increased approximately 44%. Approximately 65%--90% of melanomas are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. More than one half of a person's lifetime UV exposure occurs during childhood and adolescence because of more opportunities and time for exposure. Exposure to UV radiation during childhood plays a role in the future development of skin cancer. Persons with a history of >1 blistering sunburns during childhood or adolescence are two times as likely to develop melanoma than those who did not have such exposures. Studies indicate that protection from UV exposure during childhood and adolescence reduces the risk for skin cancer. These studies support the need to protect young persons from the sun beginning at an early age. School staff can play a major role in protecting children and adolescents from UV exposure and the future development of skin cancer by instituting policies, environmental changes, and educational programs that can reduce skin cancer risks among young persons.
This report reviews scientific literature regarding the rates, trends, causes, and prevention of skin cancer and presents guidelines for schools to implement a comprehensive approach to preventing skin cancer. Based on a review of research, theory, and current practice, these guidelines were developed by CDC in collaboration with specialists in dermatology, pediatrics, public health, and education; national, federal, state, and voluntary agencies; schools; and other organizations. Recommendations are included for schools to reduce skin cancer risks through policies; creation of physical, social, and organizational environments that facilitate protection from UV rays; education of young persons; professional development of staff; involvement of families; health services; and program evaluation.

Policies on sunscreen use at school

2010-04-27T10:22:00.000-07:00

Policies on sunscreen use at school or for after-school activities can range from encouraging parents to include sunscreen in required school-supply kits, using permission slips for students to be able to apply sunscreen at school (122), and establishing a sunscreen use routine before going outside. Policies also might require teachers and coaches to use sunscreen for outside activities and require that sunscreen be provided at official school-sponsored events that occur during midday. Necessary steps that might be implemented include modifying existing policies that restrict school-based sunscreen application (123), seeking support for purchasing sunscreen supplies, and supervising sunscreen use.

AJGA Partners with Mulligan Sunscreen
New golf product named the Preferred Sunscreen of the AJGA

BRASELTON, Ga. – Mulligan Grip-Enhancing Sunscreen Wipe is the Preferred Sunscreen of American Junior Golf Association through 2010, the organization announced April 9, 2010.

“The AJGA is happy to partner with Mulligan Sunscreen in the effort to educate young golfers about proper sun care,” said Mark Oskarson, AJGA chief operations officer. “Protection from the sun, especially at an early age, is key.”

Mulligan is the only grip-enhancing sunscreen product that conforms to USGA and RCGA rules. Mulligan Grip-Enhancing Sunscreen dries in seconds, is non-greasy, and is legal for use in tournament play. Mulligan comes in conveniently-packaged single-use, individual SPF 30+ sunscreen wipes that eliminate the concern of spillage in golf bags. The sunscreen is water and perspiration resistant and uses a unique copolymer that adheres to the skin, providing a slight tack which enhances golfers’ grips.
Tips on sun safety and packets of the 30 SPF Mulligan wipes will be distributed to players at all 85 events on the AJGA’s 2010 tournament schedule.

“We are committed to reducing the high rates of skin cancer among golfers through our Mulligan product and education efforts that highlight the dangers of sun exposure,” said Richard Martindale, president and CEO of TanMan International, manufacturer of Mulligan Sunscreen. “Our partnership with the AJGA is an important step toward teaching proper sun safety and reaching our goal to reduce skin cancer rates among the next generation of golfers.”

TanMan was founded in 2007 by entrepreneurs in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. The company’s mission is to reduce or eliminate all the negative aspects of sunscreen application to make outdoor activities safer and more enjoyable. The company markets Mulligan Grip Enhancing Suncreen Wipes, All Sports Full Spectrum Sunscreen Wipes and Sun Times Family Sunscreen Wipes. More information is available at www.tanman.ca.

The AJGA provides valuable exposure for college golf scholarships, and has an annual junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 49 states and 30 countries. To ensure scholarship opportunities for all junior golfers who have the skill, the AJGA created the Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program to provide financial assistance to young players in needTitleist, the AJGA’s National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association’s success since 1989.
