Electric trolleys

Electric trolley users enjoy a number of benefits over their bag-carrying counterparts, like more energy come the end of the round and, without getting too scientific and scrolling through research papers, fewer back injuries.

Some of you still need to be convinced. True, the clinking of clubs on your back as you stroll the fairways is one of golf’s most romantic acoustics. However, once you’ve made the switch, you’ll wonder why you were ever sceptical – if indeed you were.

Perhaps you’re looking to upgrade? The good news is that technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, moving away from clunky frame styling to sleek, streamline designs.

As you can see, a trolley is not just a trolley. Many come feature-packed, taking on the role of the caddie/pa with in-built GPS and connections to your phone. Others are more simplistic, perfect for those less gadget obsessed, or on a stricter budget. However, they all share a common goal: to enhance the playing experience by allowing users to concentrate on their game.
