This is my first message on this forum. I´m writng from a stormy cold Swedish westcost. Before I continue my story I must congratulate you for a marvellous job with this forum and thank You very much for everyones great generosity. I´m trying to contribute by spreading the word among my friends.
I have been trying to play golf for about 13 years, the last four more intense. My handicap is 16. I´m 56 years old. I play regularly on my handicap. I have been reading this forum with great interest in about 6 months and have been practising a lot of the TGM ideas. The first one was the Flat Right Wrist and the Bend Left Wrist(I´m a lefter), which felt odd in the beginning but now it is completely natural. Now I´m trying to learn the Educated hands and the Magic of the left fore arm. My question is as follows.
I was happy to start golfing from left even though I´m right handed, because I could drive (throw!!) the club with huge force by using the "wrong" side force. Now that I´ve learned that it is my left forearm that is the "drive" I find it different but really good. The big difference is that I play with more security and my slices are only a memory.
I wonder if any one has any experience to share with me. Is it worth the work to change side or are there any tips that I could use.
If you find my English a bit odd it´s because it´s Swenglish.

Hi Hansli,
Welcome to the forum...
It will appear that after playing golf for 13 years your golfing muscles would have strengthened to a degree that would rival your 'right side'.
If I were placed in your shoes, I would rather invest the time into refining the concepts you have learn and make your action more and more precise.
On this note, Phil Mickelson is a right hander who plays left handed and seems to have done rather well.

As long as you know how to load and sustain the "lag", you can try pulling it (the "lag") with both hands from either side.
__________________ Yani Tseng, Go! Go! Go! Yani Tseng Did It Again! YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
First thank you compdaand Sonic_Doomfor your support. I didn´t really consider to change side. It must be a big ordeal in my age and I don´t aspire for the Senior Tour so I don´t have the motivation.

Thanks for your support bts. I just wonder if it doesn´t open the door for "switting". I´m trying to get rid of the habit of pulling with the wrong shoulder which often leads to throwaway of the club.
