JohnSmalls 6,087 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Funny enough, I was on a cruise ship and they had a golf simulator with a PGA pro on board. Guess what... He was a lefty! So I took two lessons while onboard (short game chopping and iron swings). Kind of hard to practice chipping when the boat was a rockin', lol. I forgot his name but he's the only pro I've come across who was a lefty. Maybe we should start our own YouTube channel... LGC. Lefty Golf Channel . MDGolfHacker I was just thinking that earlier. I think my handicap might be a bit of a handicap 3 Quote 2020 MGS Hard Rock Challenge SkyCaddie SX400 OGIO Silencer: Followed by Arccos G410+, Tensei Orange Vapor Fly 3, Diamana Blue, Covert 2.0 3H, Kuro Kage Black Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES ER2 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Link to post Share on other sites
tony@CIC 17,390 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Lefty Instructors could probably charge extra for teaching other lefty's since there are so few. Wish there was one around here.

Rickp 21,315 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It seems as though a slice off the tee is the price you have to pay for playing from the right side of the ball. It's a real common ailment for lefties, as far as I can tell. On a different note, I went into the pro shop at the course I was going to play today, and there were a bunch of left handed clubs. I commented on them to my buddy, the member, and he told me the pro is a lefty. Looks like I've found someplace to try to get some lessons.

palvord 3,540 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Finding a lefty instructor would be like finding a needle in a haystack. And I agree, tony@cic, they could probably get away with charging extra. I did have a good experience with my first ever lesson, because he would set up and just have me mirror his form etc. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 3 Quote In my Ultralight Stand Bag: Driver: Rogue 10.5° - LH - Aldila Synergy Blue 50 Stiff Woods: King F9 - LH - 3/4 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff King F9 - LH - 5/6 Wood - Atmos Blue TS 7 Stiff Irons: King F9 - LH - 5-GW - KBS C-Taper Lite Stiff Wedges: King Black - LH - 52° 56° 60° - KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 Stiff Putter: - Impact No. 3 Ball: TP5x Tracked By: Currently Testing: LX5 Watch Link to post Share on other sites

When my right handed instructor illustrates what he wants me to do, it's like looking in a mirror. I must think that there are very few of us that have never checked out our swings by doing so in front of a mirror. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

00sportsman 2,277 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I didn't know that about Spieth, either. One of the reasons I've been a big Mickelson fan is because I'm a righty that plays lefty, and he shows that it's at least possible to do it well. And I know, you all want to make me some kind of junior member because I'm primarily right handed.
