What advantages do you guys think we have over righty designed courses ?

I am a lefty and my natural flight is a draw.

I think most courses allow for more misses to the right (ie majority of misses for a righty would be a slice) so I get the same benefits on course layouts as righties but not an advantage.

I don't see many advantages, I guess it all depends on your swing and course.

I always end up noticing I have alot of room to draw into a right sloping fairway and I have alot of room for error. At least thats just probably at the specific courses that I play at. I think room for error would probably be the biggest one.

My natural shot was a fade... if I tried to muscle the ball to make it go further, it turned into a slice. It wasn't too bad when I played holes that doglegged to the left as the ball would be close to cutting the corner (or normally in the trees)...

Finally getting some game improvement irons and woods, I have no idea what the ball will do. I'm hoping it'll go a lot straighter at best or at worst, only be a slight fade.

I never noticed any particular advantage of being lefthanded in course design. (good humored sarcasm and bitterness) --------> The only advantage I'm finding of being left-handed is the OUTSTANDING selection of clubs available for demoing and purchase... <------- (good humored sarcasm and bitterness). Finally the selection of lefty clubs has improved somewhat but it's still not at the level of righties.

Advantage in course design? Only if it's a dogleg left or the pin is placed on the left side of the green.

I don't play golf, I play at golf. There's a difference.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
