"My view on the glove is simple: In all my years playing golf I have never seen something so impressive! How the glove performs in the wet is amazing. You can throw away your towel ;-)." 10x10.gif
 
Scotlands only 'Cack Handed' Professional Golfer. His greatest golfing achievment was winning the Scottish Amateur Champion in 2007 at Prestwick Golf Club.

When did you first start playing golf?
I first started playing golf at the age of 14 and had my first round of golf at Swanston Golf Club. My dad was a greenkeeper and had got me a golf membership but I hadn't used it and he basically gave me an ultimatum, use it or loose it! So I started playing and never looked back.

Have you always been Cack - handed?
Yes, I picked the club up that way and it just felt natural to me. A lot of people have suggested I should change it but when I got to scratch at 17 years old they pretty much left me alone after that.

Did you take lesson?
I never had a single lesson until 2005, aged 24. After coming runner-up in the British Amateur ar Royal Birkdale I was approached by a professional in Edinburgh who believe he could improve my game. Before that most professionals wouldn't even look at me because of my unorthodox grip.

Explain what being cack-handed is?
Being cack handed is basically having a left handed golf grip using right handed clubs. The left hand is below the right.
