    Do most Hockey players play golf Left Handed???

    I am itching to start a business in Canada for left handed golfers as I believe there are many left handed players?? we are currently doing 50% off shipping and VAT free (16.6%) off purchases to begin with.


    Kind regards

    Paul, Left Handed Golf

    I don't know the actual stats for hockey players, but for golfers in general Canada has the highest percentage of left handed golfers. This is typically attributed to the hockey influence since most hockey players shoot left handed.

    The funny thing is that a golf swing is closer to baseball than hockey.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    L/H , I guess I'm a couple of months late... I was in Aberdeen in March working at Talisman House and I'm a lefty ..... too bad would have been good to meet you for a pint and some golf talk. In fact I had a good chat with a local cabbie about golf in and around Aberdeen.

    I'm not sure if more are like me but I'm a left handed hockey player but a right handed golfer. I'm guessing there are a lot of others that are the same but have no way of providing proof.

    Same here... but I have to say that at our Club there is lots of lefties... might be close to 60-40 (R-L).
    If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.

    I shoot left in golf & hockey, bat left in baseball but I am right handed. I'd say 50%of the guys I golf with are lefties and I have played in a foursome where everyone was a lefty.
