So, I decided to take the day of from golf yesterday and head to the beach. I got home from my physical therapy appointment, packed up a few things and headed through Topanga Canyon to PCH and landed at Leo Carrillo. I got my stuff and headed to my spot. Got my chair set up, my little speakers for my iPod and my food, only to notice, I forgot my sunblock. I thought to myself I can handle a little time in the sun without it. Three chapters into Bob Rotella's Putting out of Your Mind I realized that my legs were burned to a crisp. What a putz. Sleeping, or trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in, last night was quite a task. I must have woken up every half hour to try something new. Man, I'm a doofus. I couldn't even practice after work today. I just wanted to get home and let these things cool off.

Aloe vera on a sunburn feels like you're in heaven. That sucks though man, I probably would've left and gone to the local CVS/Rite-Aid/Walgreens and picked some up.

Sailboat + Overcast Day + Nap = Sunburn so bad I was sick.

If yours is anything close that that, you have my deepest sympathy. Aloe vera - CONSTANTLY. Even after it stops hurting. Also, Aleve. Lots of Aleve.

Tell me about it.

By the way, has anyone ever tried the spray-on "ultra mist" sunscreens? I bought some of this: because it is very easy to apply. But I've never been in a situation to test its effectiveness where, if it didn't work, the consequences could be bad. Does anyone (with susceptible skin) have any first-hand experience?

I know how you feel. I just got over my sunburn. First time I actually blistered after I burned. Weird. That just sucks Ben. Hope you have a speedy recover

Sorry man. I keep sunblock in my golf bag, and that's perpetually in the trunk of my car, even in times when the clubs aren't. Not for reasons like this, just lack of storage space otherwise. I wish I could offer some help.

That's the only stuff I use (actually the Target brand - same thing). I've never ran into a problem where it didn't fail to cover effectively. I usually will spray a bit more on at the turn but that's about it. The coolness feels good on the neck too.

As for Ben's sunburn, I suggest a nice single-malt to dull the pain.

Pfffft. Says who?

You should have seen those things peel. Gigantic strips . . . and then another whole layer below that peeled off. It freaked me out a little. Oh, and I tried out the ultra-mist spray today and it seemed to work pretty well. And definitely easier to apply.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
