Things that you don't understand

I watched a few minutes of the closing stages of LIV in Adelaide the other night.

Joaquin Niemann won. He celebrated and then signed his card, left handed. So, he's a lefty that plays golf right handed? Is that unusual in golf?

Probably occurs less often in golf than other sports. But there are a few of those about.

Yep. I write left handed but play golf and bat right handed. A guy I play tennis against. He does all his sports right handed yet writes with his left hand. Having said that I believe he was supposed to be a left handed tennis player as his double handed backhanded appears to have his left hand as the dominant hand, even though it's a conventional right handed double handed grip

[Footy Chick]

I kick a footy left foot but play tennis right handed, hold a cricket bat right handed, and shoot for goal with a netball right handed.

I do everything left landed/footed

You’ve got many unsolved tragedies … Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon at Adelaide Oval in 1973, the ‘Family’ murders in the late ‘70s to early 80’s, etc, etc.

On the Crime Stoppers website, there are 112 unsolved murder cases listed for South Australia. I dunno, there could easily be more.

100% agree to keep cases open where possible, and to follow-up on credible evidence, but my point regarding the Beaumonts is that the current dig has basically been driven by hearsay.

The 2 detectives who were previously on the case both stated that the dig was going to be unsuccessful.

There’s only so much you can do after many, many years … no bodies, no credible evidence or suspects. The sensational and IMO irresponsible reporting by some media doesn't help. We seem to live in a world of clicks rather than facts, but that’s a discussion for another day.

My wife lived across the road from Mark Langley before he disappeared. I went to primary school and knew the Bradshaw family really well … the Anthea Bradshaw-Hall murder has been devastating for that family, with her Dad, Martin Bradshaw going to his grave without justice being served.

No one tragic murder is more or less deserving of being solved, or is more or less notorious than another.

Just my view, everyone is entitled to theirs.

I think what you're saying here^ is sensible.

But I think the notion that we should 'let it be' more generally with the Beaumont case, is unnecessarily dismissive. Just my opinion.

I do everything left landed/footed

I maintain that people like you should be in a separate competition in all sports.

as in its an advantage to be me?
Fair to say I did not take advantage of it...

[Lightning McQueen]

The Beaumont dig is becoming an unfortunate circus.

It’s been nearly 60 years, most likely everyone associated with that tragic event are now gone … just let it be.

Speaking words of wisdom.

There will be an answer.

Not necessarily, I think there should just be 2 competitions, one for normal people and one for left handers.

They use to burn left handers at the stake back in the day…

or at the very least force them to be right handed

My mum could write with both hands, used to cop a whack if she wrote with the left at school

[DoublebluTiger]

Former Tennis great John Alexander was serious on ABC radio when he suggested the biggest mistake tennis rule makers made was having the advantage side suited to left handers with their swinging serve. He was adamant it would be better for the game to change it so you start the other way with advantage points being the other side.

I didn't agree.

This was the case for my grandmother who got caned on the left hand when she held a pencil in her left hand to write (maybe a quill back in the day). Can't believe we used to do that, but anyway, thankfully we've moved on.

Very common in golf due to the lack of access to left handed clubs for kids, 95% of golfers grab Mum/Dad's clubs and play and by the time they get access to lefty clubs they are competent right handed.

I write left-handed. Everything else i do right-handed, except 8 ball and i can switch hand playing tennis.

Besides the tennis, that is my youngest son to a tee.

When he tells us he's surprised how well he handballs on his opposite side, his brothers normally chime in with "You're lefthanded, idiot"

[Pseudo]

My Masters supervisor was a lefty. It was a blessing. I could sit to his left, pen in my right hand, and we could thus simultaneously work on the same piece of paper in front of us.

Over the course I've known several southpaws. Without exception they have been of above average intelligence. Must be something to do with using the other side of the brain.

Write right handed
Bat in cricket left
Bowl and throw in cricket left
Serve in tennis right
Best shot is a double hand back hand
Shoot basketball left
Play 8 ball right handed
Golf drive chip left handed but put right handed, I feel I have better touch that way.

I can do right handed or left handed turns in my car
