Here's mine:
Johnny Vander Meer playing golf in Lake Worth, FL prior to spring training in 1939.
I was a bit surprised to see that the famous lefty double no-hit hurler played golf right handed, but noted that he batted as a switch hitter during his playing career.

Here's a shot of Nick Altrock golfing. Though he's a righty just like Vander Meer, his approach is a little bit... different...
