Re: Lefties

I like the style of playing against my competitors not just the course. I think i play better when im competing against another stick. How do all you guys play? against your competitor or just with the course in mind?

Re: Lefties

"Left-handed golfers stand on the right side of the ball."

"Everyone is born left-handed. They remain that way until they commit their first sin!" (There are very few of us left!! I write and eat left-handed and play golf as a rightie!)

Phil Mickelson is right-handed. Writes, eats, throws a ball... does everything except play golf as a rightie.

I, personally, don't care whether the folks I play with are right-handed or left. If I were going to get caught up in the unique swing of a left-handed golfer, it would be difficult to get past most of the right-handed players in our regular group... including myself!!! None of us has anything close to what one could call a perfect swing!

Re: Lefties

I'm as lefty as I can, except for playing golf and blowing my nose. I actually feel more comfortable watching a lefty since they seen to be doing things the "right" way..

I beg to differ with this one. For me I can go either way, for better or for worse. Usually it slows me down a little and I focus a lot more on just playing.

Thank you!! couldn't have said it better myself. Like Phil, I do the majority of my tasks in life right-handed. Except for swinging a baseball bat, golf, hockey, and technically snowboarding I guess?! All of which I do left-handed.

Re: Lefties

I play with lefties every time out. Makes no difference on my game where they stand relative to the ball.
