I would say that at least a quarter of the top 32 tennis and snooker players are left handed. I don't think there are nearly so many cack-handed golfers. Why is that I wonder?
Phil Mikelson is not even left-handed - he just copied his dad's swing like a mirror-image and played that way.

left handed clubs are less common, so people usual start playing using right handed ones. I actually don't thing that golf is really a left/right handed game, certainly not so much as snooker and tennis for example.

Good point, but if that's the case why isn't it true of say, guitarists?

For starters you have both hands on the golf-club.
PS I mean you grip the club with both hands whichever way you play which is why I think Mikelson is a good example.

As opposed to one hand on the guitar?

Not sure what point you are making with the guitar, but cant you just reverse the strings and turn it round?
my bad most guitars aren't precisely symmetrical so that wouldn't work.

Yes.
The two hands gripping a golf cub are performing one function and are usually fully connected by either interlocking or ovelapping the little finger of one hand.
Now stop being obstreperous and watch the golf.

Hang on Ralph, I'm really interested in this.
So are you saying that ~ 1/4 of golfers play right handed but they are actually left-handed, including the top 32?

It's not something I've ever researched but as Dave says it's much easier to get hold of right-handed clubs and it's not that hard for a left-hander to play right-handed.
You could not compare it to playing snooker or the guitar where the hands perform totally different functions.
