A person who is naturally left handed will never be able to achieve the perfection in the game of gold by playing right-handed.

Your grip on the club should not be too loose or too tight.
Your stance should be square with your feet parallel to the target line.
The shoulders as well as the hips and the thighs should be square with your feet parallel to the target line.
If you happen to want to slice the ball, the swingpath should be from the inside to the outside.
If you want to hook the ball then the swingpath should be from the outside to the inside.
Good luck in your golf game!

- Odyssey Metal-X D.A.R.T. Putter Review
Golfers of all abilities have experienced it, a 10 footer for birdie, the read is good and the stroke is good however, as their eyes rise in anticipation of watching the ball roll into the cup, the thrill is replaced with a sinking feeling that indicates that the line chosen is not the line the ball has commenced its journey on. There are a lot of reasons why this type of shot occurs and many of them do not involve the stroke itself. One of the most common reasons for missing a putt, beyond the actual read, is the improper use of the alignment aide that is designed to assist with proper club alignment at address. It is with great joy that Odyssey, a company long known for its cutting edge technology, has developed a putter that properly addresses the alignment issue and many other putting design issues with their development of the Odyssey Metal-X D.A.R.T. Putter. How Does Odyssey Differentiate itself from Other Companies? For the longest time I could not think of a putter that was more appealing than the Odyssey White Hot 2 Ball, which was later replaced by the White Ice 2 Putter. What made this [...] - 9 days ago

Left handed golfer 16 months ago
Great hub. The first day we put a club in my sons hand he hit both RH and LH irons. All shots were terrible the 1st time. The local pro said what feels better and he said from the left, so he became a LH'ed player ... eventually got his handicap to the + side below scratch. Sure getting the right equipment wasn't easy, it just took 10 years to finalize his bag of sticks. A lot is made in LH now so there is no reason to switch a player from left to right. Also depends on their dominant eye. If right eye dominant might be better to play LH'ed.
