I shoot crosshanded (I am 60 years old and can't change) and the ball goes on a specific side of the green depending on what club I use.  I play mostly on a  9 hole par three golf course and below is how I play the course:

 

Hole 1  111 yards 9 hybrid club  shoot to the left

Hole 2   80 yards  An "a" wedge shoot left

Hole 3 140 yards  6 hybrid shoot right

Hole 4 190 yards pretty  much in the middle a few yards from the green

Hole 5 155 yards  5 hybrid  shoot left

Hole 6  95 yards  Piching wedge iron shoot left

Hole 7 125 yards  7 hybrid shoot right

Hole 8 135 yards 6 hybrid  shoot right

Hole 9 125 yards  7 hybrid shoot right

I usually wind up pin high on the holes, 5 to 10  yards off of the green.  I have been told since I shoot crosshanded, I will lose accuracy, but I hit the ball the same way on each hole.  Is there a way to modify my clubs so they hit more cosistantly in the middle, perhaps by changing weights?  Thanks

Welcome to The Sand Trap. I've played with someone who played cross-handed and they were pretty accurate. Thanks for joining.

Try playing only "one club" a couple of times and use a different club the next day.

For years my buddy and I would play a nine hole par 3 course and would take only a wedge and a putter.

I feel it attributes to developing a great short game and play around the green.

Unless your clubs are not weighted consistently now, I would think that trying to alter the weighting on a club by club basis would not be a good idea.  But you may want to get the swing weight of each club to see where they are now.

That said, this might be overly simple, but if you "always" hit certain clubs to the right and certain clubs to the left, just change where you aim to compensate.  Most pro don't aim at the pin or where they want the ball to land, because they work the ball one way or the other.  You may not be working the ball, fade/draw, but just hitting it straight to the right or left, but that doesn't really matter.

Maybe get the lie angles checked.  If they're not consistent, that might explain the different, but repeatable ball flights with different clubs.  A fitter might be able to help you out.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
