Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm right-handed, but my dad was left-handed. And I remember him saying that when he was at school, the teachers tried to force him to be right-handed because they considered left-handed was just wrong !! It was on a par with picking your nose or swearing. Everybody had to write with their right hand - that was the correct way. One of those facts about "the good old days" which tends to be forgotten.

PeverilPeril 3,283 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 #2 Robbie. Only yesterday a golfing pal and myself were discussing LH vs RH. We are both RH but both shoot and deal cards LH. I also kick a ball left footed. We tried a few practice swings left handed and we both thought that is felt quite natural. I'll borrow a LH club and see what happens. Can't get any worse that using RH Maybe eyesight has something to do with it. During the war left handed, or those with a strong left eye had difficulty with the bolt action rifles.
