Bismarck-Henning’s Terry French
Boys' Golfer of the Year: B-H's Andy Bott

Not sure either why he writes with his right hand or throws a baseball with his left hand or shoots a basketball with his left hand.
He’s even less sure why he serves a tennis ball with his left hand but shifts the racquet to his right for a forehand shot.
