Pros who wear watches while playing
in tournaments? I guess they are paid to do so. Gosh, that would bother the heck out of me.

Who comes to mind that you have seen wearing a watch? Not bracelets. Watches only.

Lorena Ocho. Definitely wearing a big metal watch on her left wrist.

Phil Mickleson. Wears a mid size watch with a leather band, on his left wrist I think.

Cristie Kerr is wearing a large watch with a leather band on her right wrist. Even wierder.

Who else?

I'm no pro, but for some reason I hit the ball better when I wear my big metal watch on my right wrist. Golfing right-handed and being left-handed. No wonder I'm so screwed up.

Karrie Webb is also wearing a large Rolex on her left wrist, but it appears to be stopped.

Catriona Matthew also wearing a large metal watch, on right wrist.

I suspect a closet signal here. Maybe Rockford knows what these signals mean and will enlighten us, once he gets through playing with his Callaway.

Laura Davies is wearing a teensy weensy itsy bitsy ladies gold watch. Figures. Maybe she wants to be able to tell how long until the buffet line opens.

I recall Greg Norman wearing a watch while playing back in the day. I found it very odd......

I'm right there with you. I've tried to take some left handed swings at the range but it just feels horrible.

My daughter is a lefty & I tried to use the clubs I got for her, wow was that a miserable experience.

As to the watch thing, I wear one all the time, feel very naked without one.

And I make three. I was taught to swing right handed at a young age. Its a shame, because I can rock the ball left handed.
