Lefties and carry/stand bags

[hjimzaf]

Fellow lefties, how do you carry your clubs? When I fist started playing using a single strap bag, I would carry it on my left shoulder. For years I've used a "normal" stand bag, one where the clubs heads hang on the right side and you pick up with your right shoulder first. I've grown used to this with no problem. Yesterday at the course, I saw a guy with a left handed carry bag, club heads on left side, pick up with left shoulder first. He was a few fairways away so I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I did some research and Sun Mountain makes their Superlight 3.5 bag in a lefty model. Online only of course, since no store around here carries it. I want to buy it, but I'm afraid that it might feel weird after all these years of using a righty bag. What do my fellow lefties think?

I'm a lefty, but didn't realize that there was a difference between right and left handed bags...As a teenager, I usually carried my bag (and singles when I caddied) on my left shoulder with clubs forward, but I some point I started using my right shoulder with club heads facing back...whenever I temporarily put the bag on my left shoulder now, it feels a bit weird, but imagine that I would get used to it if I did it that way consistently.

Neither did I, until I saw it on the course. The main difference is that you pick it up with your left arm first, and the clubs hang to the left.
