I don't know the answer to this one, precisely, but I believe it
to be Polo. My reasoning is that the horses are trained to expect
the mallot to always to be swung from the right side. To do it on
the left would spook the horses and cause safety problems.
Albert Prete <71212.1644@CompuServe.COM> thinks that the sport is jai
alai. In jai alai a ball is thrown at walls at a very high rate of
speed. A gourd (cesta) is used to throw the ball. I guess they're
concerned about someone getting hit with the cesta.
Marty mined this tidbit from the Dania
Jai-alai web site: Due to the centuries-old tradition of the game
of jai-alai, all players ("lefties" included) are required to wear the
cesta on their right hand. Also, because of the side wall being on
the left side of the court, it would be dangerous and almost
impossible for players to throw with their left hand. For more
information, try http://www.dania-jai-alai.com
Scoop tell me that when he was in school in
the UK he was not permitted to play Field Hockey lefthanded and that
there is no such thing as a lefthanded Hockey Stick. He also told me
that the Grand National Archery Association, which is the only
such organization in England, requires lefthanders to be segregated
to one side during competitions. Similarly, The National Smallbore
Rifle Association in the UK and The National Rifle Association in the
UK segregates the lefthanders to one side during competitions as well.

Polo must be played right-handed. The use of the left hand or the mallet was banned in the 1930s. The rule was relaxed after World War II when there was a lack of players, but the rules were re-introduced in 1974. The banning of left-handed play is for safety reasons in order to avoid the likelihood of a head-on collision between players. As a left-handed player and a right-handed player head for the ball, they would not pass each other as they do in right-hand only games. Happy International Left-Hander s Day!

Kyudo, eastern archery. with the help of custom the emperor and the judges take a seat to the main appropriate of the sector. So a left surpassed archer could have their backs to the emperor, and that's a substantial no no.

Golf, no clubs are

plays Golf with right hand.
