If you want to save your energy and minimize muscle strain then an obvious step is to use a golf trolley. These are no longer the sole domain of the more mature golfer, but can be found to be in use by all ages that frequent the golf courses.

There are two flavours of golf trolley available; the manual or pull golf trolley and the electric golf trolley.

Manual golf trolleys

These golf trolleys are lighter than their electric counterparts and considerably cheaper. They have a place at the front for the golf bag to go. The type of golf bag that will fit onto a golf trolley is called a golf trolley bag.

There are two types of manual golf trolley, the pull golf trolley and the push golf trolley. Pull golf trolleys have 2 wheels and are pulled behind the golfer, whilst push golf trolleys have three wheels and have the ability to be either pushed or pulled.

Electric Golf Trolleys

These electric golf trolleys are the saviour of many a golfer who, for whatever reason, would have difficulty in carrying their golf bag around a course. These electric golf trolleys are powered by a battery which is mounted on board, and can be guided either manually or with a remote control. They, like their manual counterparts have the golf bag mounted at the front.

One of the things to check when looking for an electric golf trolley is the length of time the battery's charge lasts, as you do not want it to run out before you completed a course of 18 holes.

The electric golf trolleys are more expensive than the manual golf trolleys, but for many they have enabled them to continue enjoying the game of golf when otherwise it would have been too much of a strain.

If you want to save your energy and minimise muscle strain then an obvious step is to use a golf trolley. These are no longer the sole domain of the more mature golfer, but can be found to be in use by all ages that frequent the golf courses.

Before we talk about these trolleys, you should be aware that the golf bags used on trolleys are specific to trolleys, they are call golf trolley bags.
