    Nice article on bbc website about a pro who has qualified for the European tour and chips 1 handed...

    http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/golf/29890955

    I've seen guys putt left handed but play right handed and I even know a guy who Drives right handed & plays everything else left handed :confused:

    Any idiosyncrasies you'd like to share? (golf related!!!)

    When putting I don't interlock but have my left index finger running straight down across my right hand's fingers.

    I hope you're not too shocked by this :D

    The video looks cool but I would have thought a pulling motion by the left arm would be more natural and less error prone.

    I've a mate the plays right handed up until 9i and then left handed for wedges and putter.

    Another one of the lads fathers putts left handed as he got the Y's and couldn't get rid of them.

    I'm left handed myself and play right handed.

    I know a few golfers who's game only magically comes together during the Winter and for Captains Prize or Club Matchplay competitions... where they are mysteriously about 5 shots better than their handicaps... does that count?

    Played with a guy in a junior scratch years ago, playing off 4, same as above but he was 9i to putter leftie, The Junior was up North, can't recall where the guy was from, Nice lad and decent player.

    Putted left handed for a while when I had the yips. It worked well back right handed putting now best part of my game.

    I'm left handed, and use right handed clubs..

    Maybe that's why I'm so bad!
