We can't blame the golf club manufacturers for focusing on their most rewarding market of right-handed golf players, but it is quite hard for those golf players who play left handed to get the options available to the conventional players.

I have known a few golf players who made the switch early on by training to play right handed but yet this is impractical for a lot of people. You have to be playing in the most normal way possible and if that means left handed then so be it.

Sad to say with everything nowadays it all comes right down to economics and also productivity and there simply isn't enough income to be made for most suppliers in the left-handed market.

The ratio of left handed golf players to right handed golf players is somewhere around 8 % so the industry is very small, although it is a target market that some companies are focusing on although at more cost in most cases.

But there is usually a silver lining to the issues that we may come across.

At a recent tournament function, I was introduced to an elderly chap who was playing on a small disadvantage and had done this for several years. Throughout the conversation he talked about left-handed clubs and the fact that he had started playing left handed initially.

He hadn't learnt the way to play from an expert and had grown some horrible methods.

After a while, because of frustration with his game and the inability to source the golf clubs he wanted to, he employed some professional aid. After much dialogue it was determined that he should try out playing right handed and the golf professional would provide him with the necessary tuition.

It was a blessing as he was successfully starting from scratch and he learned the way to play golf without any of the horrible strategies that he had developed on his own. The switch from left to right, in addition to the professional training had held him in good steed throughout his golf playing life.

Sure, it was a huge decision that almost all golfers wouldn't do, but you will never defeat a golf player at trying to further improve his performance no matter what steps they might take.
