Golf Clothing – Gloves for Lefties

If you're left handed, it's not a problem buying most golf clothing but what about gloves?

Left handed golf gloves

Golf has been accused as a game that is elitist in the past and even a game that is sexist – traditionally, it was a game for the middle and upper classes in Britain . But it's those players who are left handed who really feel discrimination. Many shops stock endless supplies of right-handed golf clubs and even golf clothing such as gloves are automatically assumed to be for right handed players. But there are left handed gloves you can buy to help your game.

Shopping for golf clothing

The game of golf is still very much dominated by right-handed players, which has meant historically it has been harder to find left hand golf gloves in golf clothing stores. However, many websites for sports retailers sell left hand golf gloves on-line – such as Sports HQ.

The bigger picture

If you are shopping for golf clothing and equipment and are left handed, it is traditionally difficult for people who use left hand golf clubs and need left hand gloves. If you look at the real world, it is designed around right handed people who make up the majority of the population. Just 17% are thought to be left handed. As a result, many left handed people have suffered discrimination. In education, your left-handed grandparents could have been forced to write with their right hands. Leonardo Da Vinci was a famous left hander who wrote from right to left in mirror image.

Golf gloves for lefties

Just because you play with left hand golf clubs, doesn't mean you are at a disadvantage – in fact it could be just the opposite.

Left hand golf

If you are left handed and are considering playing golf but worried it won't suit you, don't! Left handed people are not only talented in sport, but the right equipment and clothing is available to buy – golf gloves for lefties mean you don't have to compromise in golf. Being left-handed could be a major advantage. Studies have shown that lefties could be better at golf as using the right hemisphere of the brain means better spatial intelligence patterns.
