You are not alone. I'm a lefty and refuse to change. I'll deal with the limited equipment in order to feel more natural. I tried swinging right handed and felt like I was all jacked up.

I love being a lefty, plus my right-handed golf swing is so bad it would probably make small children cry.

Well as for the equipment, ebay seems to have the lefty's clubs which is good that's where i found my driver

I wouldn't change being a lefty ever besides that would be stupid for me to do so now, dropping money on my current clubs and starting the game all over again... Yeesh lol!

I golfed a long time as a righty because my dad was a righty, anyone who had clubs I could borrow was righty, so I went with it for a long time.

I started to "migrate" to lefty after taking a break from the game for a while after getting fairly good as a righty and then losing my iron striking abilities from the right side becuase of an extended break... stopped playing regularly.

I ran a mixed bag for a while just goofing off and that was really fun:

Woods - righty
irons - lefty
Putt - righty

going on my 2nd full year as a lefty and boy can I strike a ball (I still putt righty though)

I know many natural lefties that are forced to start the game under the same conditions as I did (righty clubs). Damn shame too...

As for the equipment limitations, it does get old fast but you find what you can and put the sticks to use.


I still like to grab a buddies club from time to time and hit one from "the other side" when they start running their mouths a bit too much. I have yet to come across any righty that can strike a ball lefty as well as I can righty.

Unless I am directly behind a tree, it is not a hazard :)

Actually Phil does EVERYTHING other than golf right handed. When he was little, he watched his dad swing a club and he was sitting across from his dad with his dad's chest facing towards him. He then mimicked what his dad was doing, so he was swinging lefty, because of his mirrored view of what his dad was doing. Tiger did the exact same thing, but for what ever reason, Tiger's dad felt the need to re-teach him to play righty, Phil's dad didn't.

Here's what I play:

I do everything righty except swing a golf club & a baseball bat. I was taught to bat lefty because you are a step closer to first base. With my speed, it didn't matter. At least by being a lefty, no one can ever compare my swing to Charles Barkleys'.
