I am a golf player and I play right handed. But I'm learning how to write with my left hand, read more! ?

I'm learning to write and do stuff with my left hand and change the way I think. I practice writing left handed and become ambidextrous. If I do this, will it feel acquard when I play golf right handed? Is it really going to affect it?

    it should actually help you because most golfers have trouble having good mechanics with their left hand and naturally stay that way and get stiff. you use your left hand on a regualr basis so it will become stronger, and more flexible so it will be easier to trun the wrist when you hit it, so it might even help you hit it another 5 or 10 yards

    this should be an advantage to you. I remember back in the 70s when some one said lefties should play right handed and righties left handed. I believe that there were a couple of pros on tour at the time that had done this and it obviously didn't adversely affect them.

    Below is from the BBC web site. Keep your head down!

    Only around 10 per cent of golfers play from the left.

    And many golfers who are naturally left-handed actually learn to play golf right-handed.

    One example is Len Mattiace, who lost out to Weir at the Masters.

    Others include Greg Norman and Curtis Strange.

    Basically, there is not affect on your golf game. But now, you practice writing by left handed, your right brain will be developed. you'll clever more in your logical thinking.

    You may be ambidextrous, so why not acquire a left handed wedge to see whether you can play with it. If you can it would be very useful in some situations.

    it won't harm your golf game

    .... as a matter of fact, carry a left handed 9 iron to get out of the rough when a tree stops you swinging right handed

    Writing lefty shouldn't change your golf game a lot.

    First of all it's not "golf player" It's golfer. Second, if you are letting something that trivial into your thoughts, you will never be a player.

    It should do nothing to your golf game

    Source(s): I write left handed, and golf right handed.

    most pro golfers can play both ways very well
