My dad plays golf left handed but does everything else Right handed.

It would take a lot of work to learn to throw left handed if your right handed. this Tua guy is interesting!  ???

I am left handed and I do everything except shoot pool and fire a gun that way.  I guess Dad taught me those two things right handed.   :dunno:
