I'm a natural lefty but not at golf (about 50/50 depending on the sport which hand I use). My 3 year old is a total lefty though. You think it's a bad selection for regular lefty clubs, you know how hard it is to find jr clubs for a lefty?

I wouldn't give it up and go right though. One of my regular playing partners is a lefty that does some sports right like me. He went rightly like I did when he started. And his swing will never be correct. We always joke that he "chose poorly".
Another guy I play in a charity event with is the same way. He plays righty but should be playing lefty and he's horrid. If you're under 10, sure make the change if you want. But after that, no. Stick with how you can hit the ball.

If we didn't have the THP outing coming up around the corner, I might try to switch. Maybe when I have more time and can get a ladies demo club in lefty. I tried with the men's - wasn't too bad. The old Nickent rep was a lefty and he talked me through a lefty swing (felt backwards when I did it). Right now, my swing is abysmal.

When I changed for bowling, it made a WORLD of difference. Played righty for like 6 months and the day I switched to lefty I was already bowling better than when I was a righty.
