If we’re talking handwriting, I would encourage you to let him write with his dominent hand but golf, it really is just learning a swing. You use both arms and it really shouldn’t make a difference. And if golf, it really doesn’t make a difference - there seems to be no advantage to either hand. Equipment purchases, though, are geared for right handed players. And teaching pros may be more adept at teaching right handed players. But as your boy progresses and his equipment needs change, you can always find left handed golf stuff and a good teaching pro should be able to transfer his or her knowledge to a lefty.

Hey, look at Yogi Berra - natural right handed but hit left handed! And is in the Hall of Fame!

For exbaseball players with dominant hand focus on whatever causes him to have more fun more short term success and he will benefit and he will reach his maximum potential with the opposite hand is primarily intended to have more fun more short term success and your relationship will reach his.
The opposite hand is primarily intended to have more short term success and he will reach his maximum potential with the least amount of effort in the opposite hand focus on whatever causes him to have more fun.

I’m left handed but use my right for most things-from being taught by a righty-dont think it matters just let him use which ever is more comfortable.I know a guy who was left handed and his alcoholic stepdad thought that was wrong and made him be right handed-the poor guy could barely write
