Golf is a good long walk that gives you plenty of exercise, but if you overload yourself, it can put a strain on your performance, and not to mention your body.

Electric trolleys are fantastic devices that make moving around the golf course a breeze, but let’s face it, they do come with a sizeable price tag.

One of these trolleys is very much a worthwhile investment for the regular golfer however, so today we want to remind you of 6 excellent benefits that electric trolleys offer and how they contribute to an overall more pleasant time spent on the golf course.

  

1. Energy saving

As the conditions improve throughout the year, golf really enters its prime, but the hot, sunny seasonal weather can be naturally very tiring to experience for hours on end. If you’re carrying your gear or pushing it on a push trolley, you’re exerting energy that would be better spent fully invested when you strike the ball.

2. No more strain

As we’ve just alluded to, a huge aspect that makes having an electric trolley so appealing is that it completely takes the strain off your back. Carry bags can be handy for a quick nine holes in the summer, but when you start to feel the weight of your gear on your back, it can tire you out quickly, not to mention be potentially harmful to your posture!

 

3. GPS

In case you weren’t aware, electric trolleys are not only swift machines but vey tech-heavy and can give you instant yardage readings through selecting their satellite-accurate GPS functionalities. You’ll never be uncertain of which club to take your next shot with as you’ll always know the exact distance!

4. Remote control

Taking convenience to a whole new level, the more premium electric trolley options come with a remote control that you can use to maneuver your trolley from a distance. This nifty gadget is a lot of fun to use and will make positioning your trolley on the course feel speedy and satisfying.

 

5. All your gear in one place

Safely and securely carrying your golf bag all round long, your golf trolley keeps everything you need to reach for in one place. Whether you need to store your jacket away on a warm sunny day or reload a tee shot with a fresh ball, your trolley becomes as important to you as a caddy when navigating the course.

6. Multiple accessories

You can fit various accessories to your electric trolley that will make your golf game a whole lot easier. Forget needing to battle with an umbrella, an umbrella holder can be attached to the handle to keep you dry as you move along.

The drinks holder is also very handy in the hot summer months when you want to take an extra drink with you out on the course.
