Right & left hand handicap

[anonymous golfaholic]

Anyone ever try to play golf right and left handed?

When I'm working out (which hasn't been very often), I swing a weighted driver in between sets. I have a bad back so I always swing left handed too, to prevent hurting myself. It got me to thinking. My wife is left handed and has some clubs. I wonder what I could shoot left handed? I might just start hitting a few balls with them. Who knows, I might even go as far as to establish a handicap.

I oldest son is LH and when we have our at home tournaments I swing his clubs from time to time. It usually isn't very pretty.

My brother keeps a left handed 8i in his bag as the 14th club in case he needs it.

I could buy my wife a sweet new set of clubs (nevermind they they'll be fit for me)! Her birthday is coming up.

True but why not just convert her to RH and get "her" some new clubs for her birthday???

I can't barely swing a baseball bat left handed....so...no.

I know I can hit lefty (obviously not very well) but I'd like to play a quick 9 to see how it goes. At one point in my life (for a few months) I putted left-handed. I've got a silky-smooth left-handed stroke. <-- who's gonna quote that?

Anyhow, recently there was a pro that hit range balls lefty. He's a fairly decent player... Asian guy... can't remember his name. He claimed that it kept his body in rhythm. There is something to it.

Phil and Mike Weir are both right handed.

I think most hockey players that shoot left-handed are actually right-handed. That's just how they learned the game.

Write and eat left-handed. Most everything else, do right handed or both ways. I can write as well right-handed, just takes lots more time to concentrate. Shoot a gun... pound nails... doesn't make any difference whether right or left. I really think I could have learned to play golf as well left-handed as right. Just started rightie and have stayed that way.

I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous.

I'd give my left brain lobe to be ambidextrous.

I'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous.

But then you couldn't be!
