Only like 10% of the population is left-handed. (Including me)
I don't see it as an odd statistic, but to me it is really pretty easily explained by the fact that there are very few lefties, and even less that perform at a high enough level to get on, and win on the PGA Tour.
but only 5% of the tour is lefty.this IS THE reason

...the fact that many lefties are taught to swing right-handed from an early age.
I am right handed, golf and play tennis/racquetball/softball right handed. I played hockey left handed. Don't know why. Maybe we just had a left handed stick lying around when I was young.I'm righty in everything except when I swing. So hockey, golf (except putting) and baseball is all LH even though in every other facet of my life, I'm a righty
I often wonder if I should really consider myself a lefty, when writing is almost the only thing I do left-handed. And nowadays with computers and everything, actual writing is such a trivial part of our lives.We need to be careful with our terms. Is lefty and plays lefty are two different things. As many posts have pointed out, just because someone PLAYS left handed doesn't mean they ARE left handed.
Good thought. Yes more for sure than I ever thought there would be.We need to be careful with our terms. Is lefty and plays lefty are two different things. As many posts have pointed out, just because someone PLAYS left handed doesn't mean they ARE left handed.
Lots of confused and/or ambidextrous folks in this thread and sport
Yes, but you have also probably heard that left handed people are the only ones in their right mind.I’m not really sure if left handed people should even be allowed to play on tour. I read somewhere that left handed people are 200% more likely to be evil.
Seriously, I think it is because until recently parents normally made their kids play right handed in golf.
I played a proper sport with a bat , cricket, lmaoI’m completely not ambidextrous, I’m left handed everything except golf. Growing up in the UK, I played a proper sport with a bat, cricket. However, shortly after moving over here, the missus took me to a baseball cage as part of my assimilation process. I couldn’t decide whether I was a left handed or right handed swinger. I guess the golf swing and baseball swing are extremely similar, just different planes.
Yes, you are left handed. Writing is the most complicated thing we do with our hands. Writing left handed defines you as being a lefty. Regardless of your hand preference for other activities.I often wonder if I should really consider myself a lefty, when writing is almost the only thing I do left-handed. And nowadays with computers and everything, actual writing is such a trivial part of our lives.
Well, left in latin is sinistra. So there’s that.I’m not really sure if left handed people should even be allowed to play on tour. I read somewhere that left handed people are 200% more likely to be evil.

Confused?I putt right handed and swing left handed, so which am I?
