Golfer's Tan

There are plenty of positives about being a professional golfer - the money, the travel, the beautiful courses, the fact that you are playing a game for a living, and the groupies.  But there is one very large downside to being a professional golfer - the unavoidable tan.  Think about it, pro golfers will be play a practice round or two then two to four competitive rounds a week, plus they play a couple rounds and spend hours on the driving range on their weeks off.  This amounts to a lot of time in the sun while wearing a collared or tee shirt (unless that golfer is John Daly, in which case he will most likely be shirtless as often as possible) and likely long pants.  In other words, if you lined up a bunch of construction workers and professional golfers and had them take their shirts off, you could no longer tell them apart (except the construction workers would have Harley-Davidson and Dale Earnhardt tattoos all over their bodies).  Sure, pro golfers are rich enough to take a couple weeks off and travel to some exotic local and get a full-body tan, but there is no way that those couple of days will offset the rest of the year they spend in the sun in their Titleist, Rio Grande Short-Haul Trucking, Nike, Wally's Steakhouse, and Callaway collared shirts (can you guess which two of those were from Tin Cup?).  At least they have groupies who seem to dig the tan.
