I just started playing golf about two years ago, and i love it...however, just about ALL of the instruction books and videos and magazines cater to the right handed golfer. so, when I read those, I have to "translate" the wording based on the fact that I'm a lefty. any help would be appreciated.

im a left handed golfer as well, but i have always been stuck with translating...actually, when i was younger, i played a whole year right handed, haha that didn't work. but my instructor videotapes me and has a software which takes different pros swings and makes them left-handed (tiger woods for example or lorena ochoa) so i see right handed pros swinging left-handed, lol! its just a mirror function thing, so if u can google it and possibly find the software, im sure it will help ur game tremendously, hope i helped!

I'm a left handed golfer and everyone is always telling me that there is certain advantages to that. Is that true? and if so, what are they?

I am a lefty too (And an avid golfer). I would say yes and no

Yes because a lot of courses have the fairway split to the right which is a plus for lefty's as a normally hit shot will end up going right down the fairway

No because...well there are tons of reasons, ha ha. One of the main ones is it is about 75% easier to find a nice set of righty clubs (Also factoring in price).

My mother bought my son a plastic golf set and he loves it but he is left handed so everything is backwards. Please Help Me!
Rocketman- While I'm sure you were trying to be helpful, I wouldn't have posted the question if the answer was as easy as "Go to amazon.com".
