Playing snow golf

Hi there,

I think most of us should be able to make our own mind up about wearing a helmet or not, but I have friends who always bang on at me for not wearing one. I was playing golf with one of these yesterday and he nearly got hit in the head with a golf ball. I said jokingly he needs to wear a helmet as it was such a dangerous sport and he was like "don't be so ridiculous, nobody wears helmets for golf".

I cant see the reason on why he is so concerned about wearing a helmet snowboarding yet would never consider one for golf which I'd imagine is actually more dangerous than snowboarding (I have certainly come a lot closer to getting hit in the head than when I am skiing)

Any snowheads out there who golf and religiously wear a helmet? why for one and not the other?
