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!

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By saevel25 ·

      @Hardspoon and I will have to discuss it over for the next one. 😛    Just to give a short review of the courses.  NorthStar is a pretty good course. The condition is good. There was a couple of meh holes (#16 and #18 specifically). Nothing really stood out as amazing. Yea, probably like a 6/10.  Eaglesticks, I think from tee to green is really interesting. Some of the greens, more so pin positions were a bit crazy. Like, if you slightly missed you would have a putt that could not stop with in 15-Ft of the hole. Maybe a 5.5/10 something around there.  The Virtues, still good as ever. In really good condition. Being it is in a similar part of the state as Eaglesticks, it shares the same hilly terrain. Eaglesticks is more compact, so it might have more extreme slopes. While the Virtues is on a larger property and was more selective in where the holes were built. The green complexes at The Virtues seemed fairer than Eaglesticks. Still, I think a very good public course that can challenge you to hit a good tee shot. The approach shots are interesting. I still think I would recommend people make the trip to play if they haven't done so. Probably a 7/10.
