Golfwrx do it pretty well....

It's an absolute punish trawling through pages and pages of threads looking for "left handed" in the title and by the time you find them they are usually outdated.

Lefties would be on there more if they could subscribe to the Forum and buy/sell/trade with ease...

Just my 2 cents worth!

It's not bad enough that we let you vote, but now you want your own pro shop!

Doesn't the search function help at all?

It does to a degree, but the way Golfwrx has it set up is ideal (seperate forum)... I much prefer how you guys have categorised threads ("for sale" and "wanted").

You could just create a Sub-forum in the Pro Shop and that way lefties can get all their business done a lot quicker and out of the way for the righties.

I did a search (http://www.ozgolf.net/search.php?searchid=4172687) and there has been only 22 Wanted or For Sale threads with "left" in the title, this calendar year. A quick look shows that golfwrx has over 20 in the last fortnight. It might be a lonely forum. What say the other lefties?

I think a big reason for that is that every time a new thread gets posted the "lefty" threads fall further behind from the first page. Also when you're doing your search you have to do one for "left-handed", "lefty", "LH" it just becomes too hard to search them all. I rarely look past the first page each day on OzGolf just in hope that there is something LH on offer. If you have a lefty forum lefties will know where to look straight away and that will encourage more of us to put our stuff up on the site....

I have plenty of stuff I'd like to get rid of but if I create a thread it will be off the first page within 3-4 days which isn't long enough for lefties to have a good look at it...

What happens if someone wants to list both left AND right-handed clubs for sale?

Ambidextrous sub-sub-forum?

I have both in my collection, and used to play right handed many yonks ago. Would be lucky to even hit the ball right handed these days.

I think its a good idea. Help me offload those left handed golf balls I accidentally bought.

Is there anything to sell?

I can think of 4 lefties on the forum ...
One donates unwanted clubs to lake pelican.
Another QA tests wedge shafts (with extreme prejudice).
The third must have a garage, as seen on 'My Hoarding Obsession'.
The fourth hasn't picked up a club in three years.

I don't know why you'd care if there's a left forum or not. I'm left handed Dotty and I've got absolutely no idea who you are so add me to the 4 you know...

I've been on here less than 3 weeks and ive spoken to at least 6.

I don't bother selling my gear here because I'm a left hander who plays x flex shafts. I would sell 1 out of 20 items.

Mate i'm not bagging anyone, relax... dont dish it out if you can't cop it. Its about 10 vs one at the moment anyway so I think your mates aren't too offended..

Don't forget its a suggestion forum, not a "have your opinion forum".... I'm writing to the owners of this site. If your mates want to throw their 2 cents in that's sweet, I love the banter.

Probably just find somegood gear locally... But at least they'll have somewhere to do it properly. Very hard to put anything up on the main Pro Shop forum atm.

All cool.

I tend to treat the forum and the members like the clubhouse at any course. As I hinted at, I haven't seen much left-handed gear advertised by long-term contributors.

The left-handed pro-shop could have merit and precedent. Similar to splitting Matchplay threads, away from the regular First Tee threads.

From the sounds of things there aren't many of us on here, so it might die in the arse.... Then you can come and kick my door down Dotty 8-)

I'm sure it's not that hard to do. I say set it up, and if it gets 10 posts in a month like I suspect it will then take it down.

I could be pleasantly surprised though, in which case it probably means its a needed thing.
