Do I need an electric golf trolley?

In a time not too long ago, the electric golf trolley was regarded as a piece of equipment that was used almost exclusively by more elderly golfers, who were no longer able to carry their clubs around the course. Anyone of a younger age found using one would often be met with disapproving scowls and accusations of laziness. Thankfully, the situation has changed enormously, and their use is now widely accepted for every demographic of golfer. Even juniors can now be seen strolling the fairways alongside a motorised trolley.  

A fully loaded golf bag can bring with it a significant amount of weight and lugging this around eighteen holes, often over undulating terrain, can take a huge toll on energy levels. This can negatively affect performance in the latter stages of a round. Using an electric trolley helps preserve energy and allows your body to remain fresh and your mind to remain sharp. Playing golf using an electric trolley is also far easier on a golfer’s back, and it has been proven that a lifetime of carrying clubs can cause problems in this area in later life. 

As a final thought, buying an electric trolley doesn't have to mean you will never carry again. With the Hybrid golf bags available now you can use the same golf bag for carrying and using on your trolley, so you can decide on the day whether you want a relaxed stroll alongside your trolley, or the more vigorous workout of carrying.
