How A Golf Trolley Can Help You On The Golf Course

A lot of people play golf these days; it has expanded its appeal in a huge way in recent years to the point that most golf courses are packed with people both young and old. Many people may only play golf on the weekends occasionally whereas others may go regularly and be members at a local golf club. One of the key bits of equipment that people may not have is a golf trolley.

The golf trolley makes carrying a golf bag incredibly simple and aside from saving you the effort of carrying a golf bag on your back for the whole afternoon it can also help you stay in prime condition for playing golf. Lumbering a golf bag around the course can put a lot of strain on your back or your arms, these are important in order to be able to play golf effectively and if you have spent half of your time carrying the bag on your back you are far more likely to pick up an injury.

Trolleys come in a wide range of varieties and styles, most are trolleys that your bag is attached to and pushed along by a handle, these handles often have umbrella or towel holders and usually have a place to store your scorecard during play. Many golf trolleys can be easily stored in your car boot as they fold down to a more compact size so they won’t take up too much room in your car.

Other golf trolleys are motorised and can either assist when pushing your trolley if your golf bag is particularly heavy or some can be driven remotely so it is like you have your very own caddy carrying your clubs to the next point on the course.

When looking to buy a trolley you may be tempted just to buy the cheapest one you can find, but as in many other areas you pay for quality and a poor quality trolley is likely to be less stable and the wheels are not going to be as good as some better models. You will want to aim for a trolley that has the option of winter wheels as these are going to be made of rubber which performs well in poorer weather conditions as well as the wet if you are ever caught out in the rain whilst playing a round of golf.

There are a number of popular brands that most golf shops will be able to help you choose from, it is best to get advice from your local golf shop as they can advise you on what products are the best value for money and which models have a good reputation for not being returned or suffering from faults.
