Playing golf with arthritis can be a challenge. A few changes to your golf equipment can go a long way in keeping you in the game. The Arthritis Foundation offers the following tips: Use clubs with lightweight graphite shafts and perimeter-weighted heads to help absorb shock; use a lower compression golf ball with more “give” to the ball; wear gloves on both hands to provide extra grip; and build up the grip size on your clubs with athletic tape or a custom grip to reduce stress and pain on your finger joints. Consult a physical or occupational therapist for additional recommendations.
