OB-GYN (Obstetrician-Gynecologist) Questions

Can a woman with an IUD play golf?

The character I have in mind for this (this is for a fictional book I'm writing) is a 25 year old female. She was taking Nordette, but had to stop after she developed a corn allergy (a very important part of the story). As such, my first thought was to have her use a copper IUD and not have to do too much research (ParaGard specifically, if that makes a difference). But the character is a professional golfer as well. So I wanted to make sure it was safe to play golf on an IUD before writing that in. If so, she would've had it inserted around June of 2019 (story taking place primarily in the summer and autumn of 2022). I have not planned for her to have any other medical conditions.
