Why does golf not represent the true ratio of left vs right handed swings?
Hockey stats show roughly a 50/50 split in left hand shooters vs right handed shooters
Baseball stats show similar rates in left hand swing vs right hand swing
Why is golf so different?
In Hockey the right or left handed may have an advantage based on the position they play,,In baseball being able to switch hands as a batter is based what hand the pitcher is throwing with..with golf availability of club may have something to do with this as I am left handed but leaned to play righty because I got a set of right handed clubs from an uncle when i was young..also i think golf courses are designed to favor right handed golfers...this might explain why if 90% of people are right handed why aren't 10% of pro golfers left handed..because only exceptional lefties can compete on the pro tour in part because the courses tend to favor righties...
cus its retarted and for OLD pEOPLE

Because when a person starts playing golf and buys a set of clubs, it is not practical to buy both a right-handed and left-handed set of clubs to try and figure out which is better. Since most people are right-handed they assume they need right-handed clubs, plus many discount stores that sell cheap beginners clubs only carry right-handed clubs in-store, special order for southpaws (see walmart.com).
