In A Golf Swing, Is It True That You Should Swing With Your Left Arm If You’re Right-handed?

Someone told me the correct way to swing a golf club is to swing with the opposite arm of your dominant arm. Is this true?
It doesn’t make any sense.

    Golf is not a one arm sport as so many think. As a right hander, the left arm controls the takeaway but in unison with the right arm so that the proper torque, turn and length of backswing are constant and repeatable. The downswing is started by shifting weight from a toed or flatfoot position which plants the foot, which starts the hip turn, brings the arms down to a hitting position unleases the wrist cock, powers through the ball on line with the target with the velocity carrying the arms to a finished position with front facing the target.

    You actually hit a golf ball with both arms and hands, but a right hander leads with his left arm. A great deal of the power still comes from the right arm and hand. There are many things about golf that don’t seem to make sense initially.

    It is true. As a right hander, your left hand and arm are dominant and the right arm and hand are for balance and guide.
    Think about this, it is also true when swinging a baseball bat.
