Did the PGA ban sunscreen?! 🧐
|
No, as far as I know, the PGA did not ban sunscreen. As you can see in the next two photos, Bryson's custom New Era cap nicely protects his forehead, but it abruptly ends there. Are pro golfers proud of these ridiculous tan lines? (I see you Patrick Reed!! 😱) A dollop of sunscreen on your face, ears, and neck applied at least once but ideally two or three times during a full day of golf goes a long away in reducing premature aging of facial skin and skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. Speaking of golf, I happen to be about an hour away from teeing off on an actual golf course for the first time in my life. I'm packing one of my all time favorites, Amarte's Ultra Veil Facial Sunscreen SPF 50+ (not an affiliate link), in my bag. Since my 4-year-old son loves the sport, I'm excited to play with him down the road so I'm also excited to start sucking. Children's hospitals are remarkable places that depend on generous donations from sponsors of events like this one. I'm grateful to all of them and to the WCC for hosting us. The now thriving 4-year-old I just mentioned spent a couple days in a wonderful children's hospital in Minnesota during his first week of life, so I'll always have a soft spot for causes like this. Wish me luck today! And for a good laugh in case you need one to kick off your work week, I'll leave you with some high quality "overheard at the country club": "Bro, I was by your house yesterday. I hydroplaned and went into the ditch. I was going 80! I was in my Dad’s Tesla. The rear tires are so bald." 😬🥴😬 Country Club Tesla Dad -- if you happen to be on my list, talk to your son... and remind him, like Baz Luhrmann reminded my generation years ago, to wear sunscreen!

Above & Beyond Dermatology

As the year winds down, I like to pause and ask a simple question: What actually helped — and what just added noise? Especially in an age of endless (and remarkably effective) hype and marketing, dietary supplements fall into both categories. Most aren’t worth your time or money, but that doesn’t mean it’s all snake oil. A personalized approach in collaboration with a trusted guide who cares about this stuff and knows you well is ideal with respect to both efficacy and safety, but I know that...

For all who celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm grateful to all of you who bother to open and read these notes.Instead of selling you something on Black Friday, I want to give you something.Today on my podcast feed, I released a bonus episode that contains an audio version of an unfinished e-book that I started writing many months ago. Here's the cover I mocked up over a year ago. Don't judge my graphic design skills. They've improved a bit since...
