I'm sorry to hear you are considering giving up golf due to melanoma. Do you wear sun screen and use other forms of protection such as hats/protective clothing, etc? If so, you may consider changing the golf course you are now practicing in to perhaps one with a little more shade or change the time of day you play golf. Morning sun is not as strong as the UV rays from the sun at 3 in the afternoon and this along with a shortened amount of time spent in the sun may help decrease your chances of developing melanoma once again.
