Three weeks off did the trick, or very much of it.  I only putted on carpet on vacation and missed the week before and the week of but got out there today.  I'm not feeling the impact pain as before. I did feel a tiny bit of discomfort today but only noticed it once, and it was after hitting three consecutive tee shots (it's a practice course and no one was behind me).  I'm hitting the ball a lot better, and am going to try some middle irons soon.  I'll hold off yet on the big sticks until I know it can handle 4 and 5-iron shots.  Longest club used today was a seven on the par 3 course.

Well I got stuck hitting on old worn mats to warm up before playing yesterday.  Sucked.  I hit some good shots but also bashed the mat enough times to bring back the wrist pain. Hit some good shots on the course early, but fell apart quickly and got my back irritated and my wrist to throbbing before it was over. It ached all night.

I'll have to play other courses and simply warm up at that particular course with chipping and sand shots. Should consider grabbing a some tight-ish wraps from a sporting goods store( https://gritroutdoors.com/ is where I've got mine) No more mats at all for me for a while. This is going to put a big limit on the course options now. 

I was okay on Top Golf mats for a few hundred shots--but also that was before I'd banged up this wrist. 

If you still feeling pain probably didn't recover fully yet. At this point just make sure you're not putting too much pressure on your wrist and maybe warm up properly.

Was good until I chunked a few on the worn out range mat.  Thanks for the comment. 

 

I'll be fine. I'm going down the Manuel de la Torre road now. Everything feels better. Cheers!
