Barack Obama Famous Lefty Golfer

There are many left handed golfers. There are great ones and there are famous left handed golfers. There is only one famous left handed golfer that is President of The United States. Golf isn't his forte' but he does swing lefty golf clubs. He had better keep the day job. Watch him at the golf course in Hawaii:

Bob Charles A Great Lefty Golfer

An irony about Sir Bob Charles is that while he was one of the first left-handed golfers to reach the very top rungs of professional golf, he's actually right-handed. According to PGATour.com, Charles does everything right-handed except "games requiring two hands." A lack of top-notch lh golf clubs options has sometimes been cited as impeding Charles' career, but it didn't stop him from making his mark. He won the New Zealand PGA Championship in 1961, and the Swiss Open in 1962.1963 was his big breakout year. Charles won for the first time on the U.S. PGA Tour that year, at the Houston Classic. Then, at the British Open, Charles became the first left-handed golfer to win a major championship. He defeated Phil Rodgers in a 36-hole playoff, 140 to 148, for the Claret Jug.

Phil Mickleson The Greatest Lefty Golfer

Phil Mickleson is without a doubt the best lefty golfer currently playing the game. "Lefty" as he is called is a free spirit on the golf course. He is a risk taker and this trait has probably cost him wins in PGA events. Particularly noted for his short game, he excels at the very difficult "flop shot" played with a sand wedge. Phil Mickelson is one of only three golfers to win both the NCAA Championship and the U.S. Amateur Championship in the same year. Mickelson did it in 1990. (The other two are Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.)
