Anyone use an ankle brace on the course? Tore my right ankle apart playing basketball years back and I've rolled it real bad countless times since. It will roll real bad if I step on uneven ground or a rock. Need an ankle brace that I can play in that will help keep from rolling.

I use these to play ball in. I think they'd work on the course as well since they don't limit your footwork too much.

I would look at DonJoy Performance braces. They have a very good reputation.

Similar issue here. Used to roll my ankle all the damn time playing basketball. I used to use the McDavid lace up ankle braces when I still played bball and softball.

McDavid Classic hands down best ankle brace I've worn. I've tried about 10 of them.
The ability to lace it up is the big difference, allowing you to get an even fit with minimal hot spots of pressure.
I can wear it in running shoes, hiking boots that allow me to loosen the shoe enough to handle the extra girth that the brace adds. If I know I'm going to be hiking on hills and uneven terrain, it's mandatory for my old bum ankle.

Sprain it some more, my ligaments are so loose I can't even sprain it no more, but it does get impinged and going to need reconstructive surgery eventually.
This is what I use when in need though:

Nah, it pretty much feels devastating every time I roll it. Hope I find the right brace.
I had a nice spiral fracture to my fibula from an awesome motocross wreck.... These help me when it starts acting up: http://www.braceshop.com/aso-ankle-stabilizing-orthosis.htm
I've used it for disc many times. Good luck!

I know it's not a sprain, but I broke my fibula in 2012 and they had me wear an ankle brace after my boot was off and it worked fine for me
