Golf clubs � Left Hand Golf Clubs � World Association

The World Association of Left Hand Golfers has been championing players who prefer left hand golf clubs since the 1920s.

The World Association of Left Hand Golfers began after a convoy of Australian golfers visited America and Canada in 1976 to play in the US Nationals. Then, another group of Australians travelled to Shropshire , England and played the British Lefthanders Society � a club for left hand golf players in 1979. The talks during those visits in the seventies spawned international events dedicated to left hand players all over the world. What began was an international championship and tournament schedule for golfers who swung with left hand golf clubs.
