John Gallagher Cack-Handed Professional Golfer - Episode #17

In this episode for http://www.HomeofGolf.TV I visit Scottish professional golfer John Gallagher at Swanston Golf Club, just South of Edinburgh. He is unique in that he plays cack-handed (cross handed), meaning for a right handed golfer his right hand is above his left one. Watch the video to see this self taught method in action and how we may all be gripping the golf club the wrong way!

John currently plays on the EuroPro Tour, though successful qualification in the final stage ( top 35 and ties over 54 holes from 16-18th Nov) of the Alps Tour this week will mean a full schedule next year playing in Austria, Belguim, France, Italy, Morocco, Spain and Slovenia.

John has been a professional for 9 months, following a successful amateur career including winning the 2007 Scottish Amateur Championship at Prestwick Golf Club, where he beat Keir McNicoll in the final 4&3. Prior to this in 2005 he reached the final of the 2005 Amateur Championship at Royal Birkdale, beating Lloyd Saltman in the semi-final.

John is sponsored by:

Swanston Golf Club http://www.Swanstongolf.com
Ping Golf (equipment) http://www.Ping.com
Bunker Mentality (clothing) http://www.Bunker-Mentality.com
Morisons Solicitors http://www.Morisonsllp.com

He is is very grateful for their financial assistance and support, along with other private individuals. This certainly alleviates some of the stress of being on tour and allows him to concentrate more on his game.

John and everyone at Swanston Golf Club made me feel very welcome and I wish him and the club every success over the coming months.
