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.

Yeah, I've got the Aloe Vera After Sun Lotion going in full effect... Lathered it on.

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?

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.

Tell me about it.

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.

On second though, I'm not hungry anymore!

      Efficient Practice Recommendations

      By billchao ·

      For general practice, this ratio is what I'd recommend: Making real changes in the golf swing is hard for everybody. Make sure you're practicing properly. A good topic on that subject is here: I have limited time for practice, too. I also find I enjoy doing full swing work more than anything else so that's what I always end up spending most of my time doing. Lately I have found that just doing some basic short game motions in my office is enough for me to improve my short game and that's kind of opened up a new area of practice for me because it literally takes a few minutes out of my day. Now if I can figure out how to practice my putting inside of 10' I might actually be decent at this game. Welcome to TST.

      day 68. Technique work into the net. Lots of rehearsal and slow swings with a ball trying to understand how to achieve a flat wrist at impact. 🤷‍♂️

      Day 20 (21 May 24) - Played 18 with a couple of friends at one of the nearby courses…a personal course best of 84.  A lot of greenside up and down scrambling including a number of bunker shots….

      Efficient Practice Recommendations

      By wetzel1592 ·

      I’m sure I’m not the only one here with a family and limited practice time. That being said, I’m in the process of making what feels like major swing changes.  Primarily, my issues are a late loading backswing and passive arms that lead to a steep downswing that relies a lot on timing. I’ve been swinging with these faults for a while so making the changes has been extremely challenging.  With limited practice time, how much time should I spend implementing these changes via drills and slow intentional swing feels compared to practicing different aspects such as my drives, approaches, wedge shots and short game? I’d be fine hitting bucket after bucket just working on drills but can’t figure out if that would be the most beneficial to my game.  Thanks for the help!
