I golf right handed.

I guess it's such a rarity and a lot of golfers probably had to learn with right handed clubs.

You would think that batting in cricket we would bat the opposite ways around as our leading arm should be our guiding arm as it should have more precision. your preferred dexterity would be your more stable one.

Cricket - bowl right, bat predominantly left but am OK right
Baseball can bat either side
Golf - right handed. Tried left but feels completely awkward :lol:

Things that give you the shits in the Things that you rate thread … right handlers who bat left handed.

FFS, your strong hand should be at the bottom of the bat.
