A hand brace to improving a golfer's short game is disclosed. The brace comprises a shell, a first guard and a second guard. The shell is flexible and configured to cover at least a back portion of the golfer's dominant hand, top of the wrist and lower forearm. The first guard is physically associated with the shell extending along the back of the golfer's dominant hand from and between proximately the second knuckles of the index and ring fingers, over the top of the dominant wrist and lower forearm. The first guard substantially restricts maximum extension of the golfer's dominant wrist to less than approximately 20 degrees. The second guard is physically associated with the shell extending along the back of the golfer's thumb from the nailbed to the first knuckle to substantially restrict radial deviation of the golfer's dominant wrist to less than approximately 10 degrees.
