Now that I'm golfing all year long, my right middle finger joint (I'm a right handed golfer) is getting sore and swells up slightly after 18 holes. Anyone have any suggestions to help eliminate this, besides not golfing as much😥😥? Tape my fingers, use a right handed glove, possibly??? I'll listen to all ideas.

Depending on age, trigger finger might be an issue. It can be fixed, (temporarily) with an injection from a hand specialist. The fix will last dependent on various conditions. I speak from experience, mine lasted over a year. I was able do do some exercises and message therapy that have helped a lot.
Might also look into your hitting mat. Lots of threads on here with great suggestions on joint friendly alternatives. -
I would also suggest looking at your hitting mat. Sim golf is harder on the joints. I used a mat from amazon, and my joints were killing me. I switched to a holy grail hitting strip, and that helped a lot, but I still get sore. My soreness is most noticeable when I wake up in the morning and try to grip a glass of water.Comment

In addition to finding the right mat I would suggest trying a mid sized soft grip (i switched to a CP2 midsized) ..when I switched the pain left and never came back )))... may be worth trying on one club and seeing if it works for youComment

Various grips have different softness. You can try a bigger grip i.e. midsize, xl etc. but my experience is although they decreased the finger pain a bit my ball striking, especially the clubhead speed got worse. My solution was to get the same size grips I was using but only softer. As previously mentioned a softer mat will also help. You can also try taping your finger with some waterproof tape. You see this a lot on tour players who must hit lots of ball to stay competitive.Comment
