Go to the Golf and Travel Show in Cleveland this weekend. I'm sure you will have your pick of tons of South Paw clubs. That show is like 1/3 swap meet. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

So today on the range I had one of the pros take a video of me swinging on my Opposite side.  I am a right handed golfer.  I purchased a left handed 5 iron about 8 years ago (for $7) and swing it occasionally.  I remember some research on improving your golf swing.  The research showed the if you take regular opposite side swings you will improve your regular swings more so than if you only swing the way you normally do.  So this is my opposite side swing!!

Impulse purchase at the local Hospice Resale store - complete set of Dunlop irons Enhance oversize irons.  Pretty cool looking - thought I may be able to use the shafts as some point as I realized after purchase they are lefties.  For $5 they were a steal and I've been very curious about hitting from the other side.   Found this thread in looking for discussions about folks who have hit from both sides.  This should be interesting.....

Not too bad considering I haven't swung lefty in quite awhile.

@Vinsk, what do you think? 😉

    • Day 312 - Better finishing position, fuller backswing, PRGR to see how swing speed was. 
    • Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good. 
    • Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂 Day 53 - 2024-11-22 Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.
    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.
