My Dad, who gifted me his love of the game, was a lefty who took up golf right handed due to the dearth of equipment for those who hit from "the wrong side of the ball." In his day, born in 1926 (and passed way too soon in 1990), it was fairly common for lefties to be shoe-horned into playing right handed. He was a fine player (6.3 index when he passed, not bad for 63) and always felt that having his dominant arm leading the swing was an advantage for him.
I seem to recall reading about Billie Jean King having taken up golf after her tennis career, and because of the relative size and strength of her right arm, as opposed to the left, someone convinced her that she should learn to play lefthanded. She went for a lesson from Bob Toski, who convinced her otherwise in a few moments of their lesson. My thought is to stick with what you've got and just continue having fun!!!
