Subject: Is a wrist brace allowed in competition?


I think lately I have been overdoing it at work. My index and middle
fingers and wrist of my right hand were very swollen and immobile. The
dor said it was a combination of gout and the early symptoms of
carpal tunnel. I've taken 3 weeks off of golf, but my wrist is still
very week and sore. I've taken to wearing a glove like support that
compresses the hand and strengthens the wrist.

So would this be illegal if I say used it at RSG OH, if I can make it
of course.

Wrists are important at RSG-OH primarily because drinking
beer with a straw is not ideal. One fully-functioning
wrist should be sufficient.
