I've had solar UV umbrellas for golf for many years, Was the first at our club. This isn't the brand I always bought (they were out of stock and I needed it ASAP). I LOVE this umbrella...it's generous, so your back is covered. I chose Sunshine Yellow...even on a cloudy or wildfire smokey day, I have a big yellow sun over my head. The mechanism is smooth, no worries about pinching your finger. Since I golf a lot, I hope to get two seasons out of it. The BagBoy umbrella holder holds it high enough so that you don't have to duck to get underneath. I haven't played with it in any strong wind or rain, so can't tell you about that. (I'm a fair weather golfer).
