Left Handed Swing Being Right Handed?
The title says it all. I golf left handed and my whole right side is more dominant, i also do the same with baseball. I feel more comfortable with it. But my question is, will it dramatically effect my game if im swinging more with my right side and im golfing left handed?
There is nothing unusual in being right handed and playing left. As a matter of fact it is a quite common occurrence and you are joined by Phil Mickelson as a fellow lefty. There are many left handed people who play the game right handed so it is nothing for you to be concerned about. One thing you have to be aware of is when listening to or reading instruction you will relate better to swing descriptions that stress a strong left side for you a strong right side being a lefty. In other words think of your swing as being a backhanded stroke and you should have no problems with your swing.

As long as it is working for you….go with it. Like Tiger says…."There is no one way to play the game"

i have two friends. ya i know i pay them too. haha one is righthand but plays left. other is left handed plays right. i play almost equally with both. each to his/her own. try playing right see if better you may turn out to have more control. i played with a guy once that played right till got to using wedges and putter then switched to left. he said he had more control with them. weird but he shot 76. everyones different.
