Is it a bad idea to play golf with broken ribs? could it make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Golfing: Playing golf with broken ribs is unlikely to cause any long term problems. Depending on when the injury occurred, how many ribs are broken and the location, you will likely experience some pain with your swing. Aside from effecting your game a little, no real harm in getting out there
