I am looking from advice from someone who is a right handed person but swings left handed clubs like I do. 

The problem is I have started to do the underhand ball throwing drill but because I am right hand dominate and I throw a ball with my right hand it is difficult to get a strong throw of the golf ball in the drill wit the left hand or my trail hand. I am wondering are there better drills for me?

Does the fact that I swing a golf club better one handed with my right hand in a left handers swing than I do with both hands mean that I will have a golf game that will always suffer or are there drills that can help with this.

I have a friend who does this as does Phil Mickelson. My buddies issue is that he doesn't turn well as a lefty meaning his flexibility is limited in the backswing. I'm not sure why you chose lefty, but I would focus on drills with the club more than the right hand if you want to stay lefty. If you have more flexibility in your backswing right handed, I would consider trying that.

I'm just the opposite, lefty, play right.  I don't think it's ever hurt me since I started righty and was a natural right-handed hitter in baseball.

I'm a pretty decent putter and I've heard it said that because my dominant eye is closer to the hole on my putts, that is helpful.  No idea if that's true but if so, it's an advantage you would enjoy as well.

So, my advice would be to work on the things we all do and I wouldn't at all focus on the fact you're a righty playing left.
