Left Handed Golf Store
Most left handed golfers have a difficult time finding good left handed golf clubs. As a left handed golfer, my frustration grows each time I visit a major golf/sporting goods store to find only right handed clubs on display. At best, you may find a couple individual left handed drivers or irons but rarely of quality. Complete sets seem to be taboo for them to inventory. Approximately 7% of the golfing population currently is left handed but statistics are showing this percentage is on the increase (a sample of our future can be found at the end of this blog). Interestingly, the first Left Handed Association was formed in 1927 as the Washington State Left Handed Golfers Association. However, there is evidence that a Left Handed tournament was held in New England as early as 1925, however, the exact date and location is unknown.
In March 1979, the first World Championship was held in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and from it formed the World Association Lefthanded Golfers (WALG). Since then a yearly championship is held around the world with the 2009 championship to be held in TanumStrand (near Gothenburg), Sweden. With all the numbers of left handed golfers, why the limit on available equipment?? With the increasing number of left handed golfers along with the visibility of left handed PGA golfers like Phil Mickelson, Mike Weir, Bob Charles, Steve Flesch, and Greg Chalmers the good news is the pressure is on the manufacturers to offer more quality selections for the left handed golfer. They are producing almost all their available models whether its right handed or left handed on all spectrums of the market from beginner sets to advance. This also includes custom fitting for most left handed golf clubs for juniors, women, men, and seniors. While we wait for the retail outlets to fully stock their stores, you don’t have to play with your old left handed set. There are a few internet websites that specialize in providing left handed clubs and accessories. Many sites can process your order within a few days with some offering next day delivery. With top notch equipment now available on-line, there is little difference in quality, construction, or technology for these clubs. So all you left handers who have been made fun of by your golfing buddies, don’t let it get to you. Don’t listen to their comments about being “on the wrong side of the ball“, they’re just trying to play head games with you. Go get your left handed clubs and show up your friends on the course and the scorecard!
