Left Handed Golf

Left Handed Golf

For the mass majority of golfers, 90% to be precise, we have no idea how difficult it can be to get into golf as a left-hander. After all, only 10% of the worlds golfing population are actually left-handed.

Is golf more difficult for left-handers? In short, no. However, sourcing second-hand golf clubs for you to get started with can be a little bit trickier, but once you have made that initial purchase the next steps are exactly the same as a right-handed golfer.

If you’re left-handed it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will swing the golf club left-handed. Many people who have a dominant left hand still play golf with right-handed clubs as it feels more natural for them to do so. And on the contrary, one of the world's greatest ever golfers, Phil Mickelson is a right-handed golfer that plays as a lefty, confusing right?

Phil Mickelson Sr. was practicing his chipping in the back yard when his son and future six-time major champ picked up a golf club and started swinging — left-handed.

The legend goes that Phil was trying to be a “mirror-image” of his right-hand swinging father, so even though he does everything else right-handed, the lefty swing stuck.
