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?

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.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
