Remedies for Black Flies, mosquitos
Hi everyone,
Here is the best remedie for black flies, mosquitos for avid golfers or fisherman.
The best product on the market that I know is made by Watkins. It is a miracle cream or spray. You could buy it on their web site. 240ml bottle $14.99 will last for 2 years.

hmmm i'll have to try the watkins out then. I wonder just how healthy it is to spray Deet all over your body. Anybody have any experience with any of the natural bug sprays out there?

There is only one thing that will repel mosqitoes. that is DEET. any of the other "natural" products are not efective. It is unfortunate, but true.
Deet works,

try tying a dryer sheet to the back of your cap. Looks strange but apparently it works, at least it will keep them away from your head.

took this off the internet:
Wear light colors during the daytime, as dark clothing during daylight hours actually attracts the little buggers. According to one report, mosquitoes prefer blue and green so you're better off wearing yellows, reds and oranges.
Mosquitoes are attracted to perspiration, heat, carbon dioxide, and lactic acid. All of these are produced after exercising, so avoid outdoor exercise during peak mosquito hours (at dawn and dusk). Our bodies also release lactic acid after eating certain foods, so avoiding outdoor dining during those hours is helpful, as well. Commonly believed mosquito-attracting foods include bananas (or other potassium-rich food items), and salty foods.
Avoid perfumes when outside. Using hand creams and lotions with a sweet scent can also increase your risk of attracting mosquitoes, so go for the unscented varieties during mosquito season. Try using unscented soaps when showering, too. Even though they're rinsed off, the scent remains on your skin and attracts bugs.
Keeping a barrier between yourself and mosquitoes is a simple and natural way to avoid bites. Be sure to wear long sleeves and long pants when outdoors at dusk, or in areas with an especially high concentration of mosquitoes (woods, swamps, hiking trails).

OK

Not for me - I guess I'll have to wear white or beige.

So does that mean ride a cart?

I don't put it all over - just the exposed parts. And I always hit past the women's tee.

He was referring to the reply that LobWedge made about cigars repelling people. He wasn't questioning your helpfullness.
