He switched around a couple years ago and plays equally well each way. He's also dead to me - both right and left handed. Dave

From: warren montgomery on 27 Feb 2007 11:13 Several years ago at one of those goofy "skills challenge" events the competitors were hitting irons (around 8 irons as I recall) at a green and being scored on distance to the pin. They got 3 tries each. VJ Singh was hitting last and hit his first shot close enough to win so he decided to have some fun and borrowed a lefty club from one of the other competitors. He made a smooth swing at it and stuck it even closer as I recall. Made me wonder if he could play scratch left handed. -- Warren Montgomery (wamontgomery(a)att.net) http://home.att.net/~wamontgomery

I gotta figure if there was any advantage, other than the occasional "trick shot" to switching around very much, at least one of these two would have figured it out. You'll see them take pretty extreme stances around bunkers and hazards, so it must be vastly preferable to hitting with an upside down club. Also must not be worth carrying a lefty wedge either. But there was someone who used to claim when they were having trouble figuring stuff out, they'd switch sides until they did. Hogan? |
