3 Really Simple (But Very Important) Left Handed Golf Tips

With only 10-15% of people in the world blessed to be left-handed, the percentage of those that choose to pursue the game of golf creates a very small minority in the game.  In the past, it has been difficult for left-handed golfers to find instruction or even equipment that was made specifically for them.  But with the uprising of successful players such as US Masters winner’s Mike Weir (2003) and Phil Mickelson (2004), more lefties are making their mark and enjoying this great game.

If you are a leftie with your eye on the golf ball, consider these left handed golf tips for a great golfing experience:

Tip #1:  Find Your Natural Swing

Many lefties can successfully play golf right-handed and feel perfectly natural doing so since they are leading with their left side, left eye and pushing the ball to the left.  The key to choosing which side works best for you depends solely upon your natural swing.  Deciding whether your natural inclination is to swing from the left or from the right is imperative for lefties.

Tip #2: Get the Proper Equipment

If you decide that left is best, getting a set of left handed golf clubs is a must.  Using a right hand swing, you will miss out on your natural left side power and coordination.  So, even if you began your golfing experience using a right handed set and swing, the most critical thing you can do to improve your game is to embrace your “leftness”, make the switch and purchase the proper clubs.

Tip #3:  Solve Game Problems with the Right (Left) Instructor

If you find yourself among the vast majority of players that suffer from “kinks” in their game, make sure that you get proper instruction from someone who either plays left-handed, or can teach left-handed.  Getting a good instructor can make a huge difference in cutting strokes off of your game.

Remember: the game of golf is more about your eyes than your hands.  Following these left handed golf tips can put you on the cart path to success.

How important are right and left hands in sign language?

I know that many signs require either the left or right hand to do one thing while the other hand does something different, but during other signs, are the hands basically interchangeable? Can you use both hands for the same sign? Am I making any kind of sense?

You make sense. It doesn't really matter which hand you use so long as you make the same sign.
