For me, being left-handed can sometimes be a challenge. Almost all hand-held devices, such as tools, fishing reels, and golf clubs been designed for the right-handed majority. So much has been created to accommodate the right-handed consumer, that is can be downright frustrating at times for left handed people. The snub however, is usually not intentional, but the financial reasons are compelling. So, unless the balance of left-handed people tips in the other direction, we had better get acquainted to living in a right handed world.
Most left handed golfers, have a difficult time finding a great set of golf irons, left-handed drivers, or left-handed putters. Depending on your proximity to major golf stores or golf pro shops, you best bet is likely to order your golf equipment through a dedicated website, or use Ebay. Some of the larger sporting goods store carry only a very limited supply of left handed irons left handed drivers in the store, but have more inventory available online.
Some people are blessed with the ability to play with both hands, but most of us have a hand that we naturally favor.
