Lefty Thread

[JohnSmalls 6,086]

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 .

I was just thinking that earlier. I think my handicap might be a bit of a handicap

Lefty Instructors could probably charge extra for teaching other lefty's since there are so few.

 

Wish there was one around here.

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.

That could be VG! Having a LH Instructor can be beneficial for you in many ways. If you give him a try let us know how it goes. Lefties have a tendency to stick together. Just don't ever let a Righty find out about our secret handshake 🤭

But if they do - they'll be on super secret probation until they convert to the right side of the brain

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.

How about that lefty group at the Memorial this week??

 

Jordan Spieth is left handed... playing righty

Phil Mickelson is right handed... playing lefty

Bubba Watson is left handed... got it right playing lefty.

You  make a great point.   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.

Didn't know Spieth was a natural lefty.

Maybe he should try putting left handed... couldn't get any worse.

I had to think about that for a minute and it might make sense.

News to me about Spieth. I knew the story of how Mickelson and how he got started.  Playing with your favored hand to tough enough let alone switching to the other hand. 

[00sportsman 2,264]

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.

I thought this was a lefties thread. Who let the righty in?

He had the secret password! Hope he doesn't had it out to other right handed lurkers.
