I just got into the game and am obsessed with it! Before last summer, I had never swung a club, so I started taking lessons last July and now always try to find the time to keep working at it. I'm a lefty too and really had no idea how much the sport was dominated by right-handers!?

Anyway, this is a great site! Thanks!

welcome to the club, golf always tricks you into thinking you have "it", but then after a round of golf you realize that you still have a lot to learn. or at least thats how it seems to me.

Welcome man. There are lefties who play right-handed, and some right-handers who play left-handed, so if you're comfortable playing right handed, go ahead; otherwise, left-handed equipment is much easier to come by now than it was years ago, or so I hear.

Yeah, I do all other sports left-handed, so I didn't really think twice about golf. I just think it's funny how the left-handed section of clubs at golf stores are about 1/4th the size of the righty section! I haven't had trouble finding clubs I like though.

Awesome. Well, as long as you find the clubs you like, that's the important thing. If you're looking for courses in the LA area - I don't recall if your friend who introduced you to the game is in LA - let me know. Or there's always Google Maps.

    • Day 23: 1/3/2025 Had a long range session yesterday. It was pretty cold out there. Today it was colder than a brass toilet seat in the Yukon. So, I decided not to go to the outdoor range today. I did put in some solid slo-motion practice in front of the mirror. One of the things I wanted to focus on was making sure my left rear sit-bone was going back away from the ball and not up away from the ball.  That was one of the things I picked up from the video I took of myself at the range yesterday. Today was mostly slow motion in front of the mirror with a focus on driving my lead leg to push the carpet toward the ball as I jump away from it.  Hitting through a 2 inch gate from 11 feet is impressive. I usually use my 2 inch gate at about 3 feet, no more.  Good job out of you. 
    • Been frustrating last few sessions. Starting to struggle to see gains with the 195g Max Effort. I did go and hit balls at the range a couple days ago and the radar had my swing speed at 110mph which is definitely faster than when I begun (previous speed recorded at my driver fitting was 107-108mph). So I would say so far I comfortable gain of 2-3mph without trying to hit the ball hard. Hopefully will break through this barrier I seem to be at and start seeing some gains
