So, does that mean he's a natural left handed shot for hockey, golf? Or is it too early to mean anything?

My dad and I were both left handed hockey shots, but golfed and batted right (probably because right handed clubs were all we had access too.)

On a related note, does it make sense to golf one way and shoot hockey the other way, or were most people who golfed different than they shot socialized to golf right handed?
Swinging right golf is by far more common than swinging left. On the other hand, shooting left in hockey is much more common than shooting right. I follow this pattern myself. Everything else I do right handed. Come to think of it though, I can probably throw better left handed than half the SW team can with their best hand.
