leftie playing righthanded except for putting?

[bogdan101]

I was playing mini-putt with my kid today, and since the clubs they give you can be played from either side, I tried to putt leftie, which is my dominant side anyway. Well guess what: it feels a lot better that on the golf course where I putt right-handed. My left eye is dominant too, so sighting the putt like this makes much more sense. I'm not yet ready to go totally left-handed yet, but I'll definitely go get a leftie putter. Anybody else here putting from the other side?

Not I, but I can say that I play hockey leftie. Whatever helps you cut strokes.

I've always thought we play golf backwards.  A right handed golfer will stand on the left side of the ball and use his left hand as the dominant hand throughout the swing.  A strong shot goes left, a draw goes left.  Are we doing it wrong?  My strong hand in putting is my right.  I think maybe I should be playing lefty and putting righty.

[Righty to Lefty]

I play both right and left handed but I only putt right handed because it took me so long to develop a feel for putting right handed.  When I switched to lefty it only took me about two months to develop a reasonable game and break 80 but it would have probably taken me 2 years to learn how to putt lefty.  What's funny is that most people don't even notice it unless one of my friends brings it up.

It's been done at tour level. Mac O'Grady, I believe and maybe some others.

Johnny Miller was a natural lefty and I think I remember him saying he wished he'd putted lefty.

I'm left eyed and messed around a bit hoping I could see the line better but never got anywhere.
