Which way do you swing ... the golf club

[Started2k3]

Left? Right? Both? Does it really matter?

[mcnorth]

Is poorly an option?

Not really. Unless you miss the lake.

Once I was practicing in my father-in-law's field. He has a barn. I tried to hit the broad side.... Let's just say I'm impressed when they break the glass on "Big Break" challenges.


True story.

Off topic.

Reminds me of a good drill:

Next time you go to the driving range bring a broken shaft or a wooden peg. Stick the shaft or the peg about 8-10 feet on the target line from where you hit balls. When you setup aim for the shaft and try to hit it with a regular swing. Then try to start the ball on the right of the shaft and try to work it to the left. Do the same thing on the other side, from left to right.

It’s a fun drill and it will make you a better-shot maker.

WOW! More left handed players than right so far.

This could only happen in HOCKEY COUNTRY!!!

I find it amazing that at this point 33% are lefty. Why is it that the leftys resist club hoing? Is it an availability issue? This poll is way off of my expectations.

I swing right..but just found out the other day, that I putt way better as a lefty... I find this quite odd

I was shocked last year to find out that at Outaouais, almost 40% of members were leftys! Thats about 225 Leftys! The 4some I played in had 3 leftys.... I was the only one that started off on the proper side of the ball!

Dan,

If you look at the people who have polled you will see that there are a number of "regulars" that are not on the list.
Names like:
Geoff,
Saint,
Ried

I guess the ho's don't want to limit their options.

....I guess the ho's don't want to limit their options.

Any Good Ho knows that to maximize your options you must swing both ways

[ghaakman]

Surprised that some people swing both ways....

[Hacker]

I've heard that ViJay is a 3 handicapper from the left side....

[Nat Williams]

Lefty, but I've had recent success as a righty

[Ditty_72]

I'm a lefty, but I can swing ok RH. I can probably shoot in the 60s right handed.... for 9 holes.

[manitoulin]

I'm now practicing left , everyone should try it.

[Weazl]

Out of my regular 4 or 5 golfers, 3 of us, including me, are lefty's.

I wonder if it has an impact mechanically. I'm right-handed, but every sport I play, I swing left. Although I have a pretty heavy slapshot, I'd presume that an equally strong right hander with a similar technique who shoots right would generate a bit more power from the shaft due to using their dominant hand. I guess the hands are so close together on a golf club, and there's so much more rotation involved in loading the shaft that it's a non-issue in golf...

In any case, you can sign me up in the left - poorly group.
