Here's a few. Been trying to get my wife and little brother (14) into golf too. Both lefties.

And ebay is good, just have to sort through all the junk.

Just came in posession of my uncles golf club set. It's a decent set..somethin i could learn on but they are left handed. Is there any way a pro shop could switch them to a right hand set or is that impossible?
Tricky question. Think of baseball and someone who is a switch-hitter (someone who can hit from both the right and left). Some golfers DO carry a mix of right and left handed golf clubs in their bag, but it is rare.
Here's the thing: It takes more than switching the shaft to the other side of the club head to make left handed golf clubs for lefties. Golf club manufacturers work hard to develop custom quality equipment for the left-handed golfer. This means that specific design and weighting goes into the design of left handed golf clubs. Remember, there are left handed golf clubs designed for men, women, and youth - so there is a science behind it.
I believe your best bet is to sell your uncle's clubs (unless there is a strong sentimental value to them) and use that money to buy a set of right-handed clubs that will suit you on eBay.
Take a look at the resource URL. You didn't mention the brand of clubs, but look at the awesome prices you can get on eBay for, example, Callaway golf clubs.
So, your uncle's clubs can still get you on the course - it will just take a little effort to sell the lefty clubs to get the ones you can use.
Good luck

I have been hitting golf balls left handed for fun for about 5-10 years. I started playing for school and they told me that since i haven't played long to learn right handed but my moms boyfriend who taught me says that i need to stay left handed so what should i do?
Do which ever feels more comfortable.

I believe that someone at my work is trying to make me look stupid, but I have no idea if there really is left and right handed balls. They also said you can get balls that won't get stuck in trees. It sounds so stupid to me, but they were so serious.
I am so glad I asked.....I don't care if your guys think I am stupid.....:)
That sounded mean...I am just glad that I do not know any of you guys

Nothing, the only thing they could do is put a pocket on the other side and say it's for a left hand er. I have worked in a pro shop for 27 years and I have not come across a golf bag that claims to be for left handed.
