Fleetwood took to the range to play using his weaker hand as he vowed: “It’s time for me to start over.”
The Englishman explained he hopes to break 100 playing left-handed in a bid to follow in the footsteps of some of golf’s best lefties.
Most notable amongst them is six-time major winner Phil Mickelson, but Fleetwood has some way to go to reach his level based on his first attempts.
In a trailer for the series shared to social media, the world no.15 took to the range for the first time.
Narrating the footage, he said: “Dear golf… I don’t know how else to say this… But it’s time for me to start over. Like all the way over.
“Why am I doing this? Because this is the start of my quest to break 100 left-handed.”
The video then shows Fleetwood hitting a series of shots with the ball barely leaving the floor as it flew off in various directions.
He was able to see the funny side, though, as he let out a smile whilst those watching on laughed at his expense.
However, his slow start was followed by footage of a series of well-struck shots as he quipped: “That’s actually good.”
Fleetwood even carried the ball 222 yards with his weak side after breaking out his driver before a slam-dunk chip shot in a preview of his left-handed short game.

The hand change comes just weeks after Fleetwood missed out on a maiden PGA Tour win at the Travelers Championship.
Having held the 54-hole lead heading into the final round, the 34-year-old appeared on course to end his title wait.
A late collapse saw Fleetwood bogey two of the final three holes, though, as he finished one shot behind Keegan Bradley in a tie for second.
It was his sixth runner-up finish on the PGA Tour, leaving him winless from 161 starts.
Fleetwood has also achieved 42 top 10s and has twice finished second at majors, with those coming at the 2018 US Open and a year later at The Open.
Despite not winning an event, the fan favourite has earned over $31million on the PGA Tour during his career.

Fleetwood’s next chance to end his wait for victory comes this weekend at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
The event is the first of three in the FedEx Cup play-offs this month.
He will tee off for his first round alongside US Open champion JJ Spaun at 6.35pm BST on Thursday.
Fleetwood heads into the event ninth in the FedEx Cup standings and is all but assured of a place at the Tour Championship in two weeks time.
Fans can also expect to see him at the Ryder Cup in September as Bethpage Black plays host.
Fleetwood is third in the Team Europe rankings, with the top six confirmed as automatic picks on August 24.
