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.

    • Swing check. Cons: The countertop drill hasn't taken yet. Not crazy about A5 to A6 hand path. Pros: Decent BS width at A2 and right elbow at A4. All in all, not terrible but meh..
    • Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc. 
    • I mean, that is what I figure would be the case.  My mind is just trying to wrap around the idea that 22" left = feet aiming like 15 yards left visually. It's like in a CADD system, if the flag is the base point when you scale an image, it stays in the same spot as you get closer (scale up) or get further away (scale down).  I can image how if you have a 10-yard chip, it could look much more like your feet are aimed nearly 22" left of the flag.  Now I want to try to make some measurements and quantify this 🤣.  Yes, they do. Yea, that is true. 
    • Closer to like 22" than 36. Why wouldn't the target line (ball) be at the target (flag) with your feet parallel left of that? Perception messes with a lot of people. Almost all righties tend to aim to the right, because what feels parallel left — particularly given that your eyes are "between" the ball and your feet — feel like they're pointed MILES left even when they're square. Also, there's no rule that you have to be parallel left of the target line. I like to be slightly open at setup.
    • Depends on the lie, pin location, green.  I would say most of my pitches are with my 60-degree.  Its probably like 90% 60-degree, 10% 56 degree.
