I normally shoot indoor sports and monday I have to shoot a benift golf outing. I have a sky light filter on my lens now,I was trying to decide if I would be better off with a ND ,UV or a Poloarizing filter.
I'm not use to shooting in the bright day light.
Any sugestions ? Thanks in advance.

I use a polarizing filter, other people don't. It makes for a better sky. Just remember to turn it when you go from portrait to landscape.

Why do you want to use a filter is a better question.

This. Why take a $50 piece of glass and put it in front of a $2000 piece of glass? Change the prices to fit your situation, still doesn't add up.

How true that is!!
The only exception may be at a wedding when I want to soften a portrait image to be more complementary to the brides older family members.

I agree, that will be perfect for giving him that "inside a poorly lit gym" feeling that he's used to. . .
Seriously, though. The only one you might consider is a polarizer. Chances are you'll have an abundance of light, so as long as you're using a quality filter, it's certainly not going to hurt. The other filters you used will either have no benefit or actually be counterproductive (such as the aforementioned ND filter).

You really do not need any. If you are going for a landscape then a polarizing could help bring out some nice clouds.
