Lefty or righty???
Ok, so he swings a golf club and a shovel right-handed. However, he swings the baseball bat left handed. Just thought that was a little odd. Anyone else notice this?

It's not that unusual--I do the same thing. When I played ice hockey and lacrosse, I did both left-handed and I throw and write right-handed. If you watch Bull Durham, he switch hits as he hits right handed as well.
sharei play hockey lefty and other sports righty and switch hit baseball. golf is so right hand dominant that many left handers play right because it can be hard to get lefty clubs. they're much more now a days.

Thats true but also serious baseball players(which it sounds like Tin Cup was for awhile)try to convert themselves to bat left handed. In baseball lefties have an advantage because there are more right handed pitchers. Thats why if you watch baseball 95% of the left handed batters throw right handed and do everything else right handed they just learned to bat left handed for the advantage.

If you notice, in Bull Druham he hits from both sides of the plate. A catcher who can call a good game and handle pitchers and is a switch hitter with some pop and he only had 14 (21?) days in the show???
I bat left handed, golf right handed. Didn't have left handed clubs but I had a left handed bat. And I hit fungoes and infield better right handed than left. My brother eats and writes lefty, but everything else righty.
This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
Though he was likely just showboating after playing the last 7 holes with a 7 iron, on his last put he switches from righty to lefty and sinks it.
I guess you can imagine Roy at the range everyday, hitting every trick shot imaginable just to keep himself entertained.
Actually he hits from the left and right in bull durham
sharehe throws righty in for 'love of the game'
