Interesting... I'm pretty sure I hold a golf club right handed, but I didn't play much and it was a long time ago so I'm not sure, but I used to play with a friend who was definitely left handed, and he was different to me and everyone else in this respect. I play guitar right handed as well. I've described myself as ambidextrous before, but that's probably incorrect, but it raises the question for me, if that means "equally adapted" how much of that translates into real world activities?

Perhaps "cross-dominant" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-dominance) [which I just came across] is a better term for people like us. I don't view myself as ambidextrous because I'm definitely not equally good with both hands. Rather, handedness for me is strongly preferential based on the task.
