Since your left handed swing looks like a lot of amateur golfers, seems like a great opportunity for you to make a video analyzing your lefty swing to explain what you’re doing wrong on those bad shots!

@sliealwhufc Ай бұрын

It’s the sway off the ball and inside takeaway from trying to turn on your unnatural side whilst holding the club (arms bend), so you get stuck and don’t turn through the ball at impact which causes the push left / little slice

@@WindigoMac TBH he did say towards the end of the round that golf is hard but you should take the wins in between the bad. Honestly I think that is the best mind set to take into golf if you cane. Who hasn't had one of the rounds where you question why do you play golf and basically just want to go home during a round? I swear golf is like bipolar you can be onto of the world than you could just want to go home and climb into bed after a terrible round. Gotta love golf.

The worst thing that beginners are struggling to break 100 is putting and short game, Rick has very good left handed putting and short game over beginners so He just needs to go every green max 1 over regulation and its easy. Wrote after 1st hole.

@ericbienvenue7785 Ай бұрын

Rick, I've been introduced to the game of golf more than 30 years ago. Been playing it somewhat more seriously for the past 15 years. Being left or right handed makes no difference on how hard it is for most golf players to break 100. Furthermore, hitting a golf ball on anyone's "opposite" hand most definitely is a challenge on its own. Your swing and your score playing left handed definitely shows your athletic skills! Great video and yes, you'll eventually break 100 playing left handed clubs, I don't even doubt it!

@moradiehot Ай бұрын

Loved the video! Another really good golf channel named Golf Sidekick does a really cool series. He plays 2 balls, 1 with right where he is really good and 1 with left were he is a 25hcp. Really funny to watch and you learn alot. Would be fun to see you try the same, could be a break 75 and break 100/95/90 with left as you get better.

Playing lefty could actually be beneficial for righties. I feel like it forces you to ‘feel’ your shots again and not just muscle memory. Especially on putts and chips.

@sliealwhufc Ай бұрын

I’m right hand dominant but, play golf left handed (grew up playing tennis so it’s a right handed backhand essentially) - it really does force you to feel your movement and slows down set up as can easily get narrow / stuck at top of the swing! It helps to pare a strong lead hand grip with a weak trail hand grip also

@stompingpeak2043 Ай бұрын

It could also be beneficial for those truly awful golfers that love the sport to switch and get a good trainer. Then only practice properly with the opposite hand for a few months and see how good you can become. Since the bad habits and muscle memory on the opposite side haven't developed. It'll all be proper form
