===Golf=== Some players find cross-dominance advantageous in [[golf]], especially if a left-handed player utilizes right-handed clubs. Having more precise coordination with the left hand is believed to allow better-controlled, and stronger drives. [[Mac O'Grady]] was a touring pro who played right-handed, yet could play "scratch" (no handicap) golf left-handed. He lobbied the USGA for years to be certified as an amateur "lefty" and a pro "righty" to no avail.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.golfreview.com/showthread.php?t=2784|title=Golfreview.com Forums|website=forums.golfreview.com}}</ref> Although not ambidextrous, [[Phil Mickelson]] and [[Mike Weir]] are both right-handers who golf left-handed; [[Ben Hogan]] was the opposite, being a natural left-hander who played golf right-handed, as is [[Cristie Kerr]]. This is known as [[cross-dominance]] or mixed-[[handedness]].
