Can I Golf

I am a high Moype . i had an RD a year ago.. a buckle was put in.

I would like to know if I can Golf, as I have read in some websites that doctors have advised against playing Golf, as the centrifugal forces associated with a Golf swing can cause detachments of the retina.

You need to ask your surgeon BUT I have never heard of restricting golf to prevent a RD

Sounds inhumane to do so also
