The sub-plot however was, Spencer Levin starting the final round six shots clear, and then falling away to only finish third. Hopefully he can take strength from Stanley’s story and win soon. Why players crumple when leading is almost certainly due to pressure, but tiredness at the end of the round/week plays a part too.

Over many years I have witnessed players have a great round going, only to blow up in the final few holes. I am certain that fatigue plays a big part in this, and the obvious way to combat it is to use an Electric Trolley to take the strain of that heavy bag of equipment out of the equation. Protrolley provide the perfect answer with their superb range of trolleys all available with lightweight lithium Batteries if desired.

If you do not already have one , try one now and give yourself the best chance of finishing your round as strongly as you started it !

Enjoy your golf !!

At Torrey Pines in California Kyle Stanley had been in control all week and looked set to win his first Tour event going to the last three ahead. A perfect drive gave this long hitter the chance to go for the green , over water, on this par five, but with so much in hand a lay up was the right call. However the problem came when instead of playing for the fat part of the green, he went for the front flag,  and saw a pretty good shot spin back into the water. A penalty drop and then a pitch to the part of the green he should have hit in the first place was followed , almost inevitably , by a 3 putt for an eight and a shock play-off with Brandt Snedeker who had birdied the same hole for a 4 shot swing. More chances followed in the play-off for Stanley but finally a missed 5 footer confirmed his misery. Stanley will win tournaments , soon , if the scars of this don’t go deep.

We have built a first class reputation for customer service and are only too happy to answer any queries you have,and advise on the best model for your needs. We can even supply the new lightweight Lithium Batteries with all our trolleys and they are certainly starting to become very popular with our customers.

We know how much pleasure you get from this great game, so why not make it even more enjoyable with one of these superb trolleys.

The reality is that the first time they know the trolley has problems is when it lets them down. Surely it is better to spend a few pounds keeping yours in shape rather than getting let down at a vital stage of a match, or on a cold wet day with a long trek back to the Clubhouse cursing your luck.

Many we have dealt with are close to breakdown , and yet a low cost service has put them back in first class shape or identified problems which need fixing.

We also can advise if a new trolley may be needed in the near future , and our new Ultra models are released in February , including a remote controlled version , and we expect good sales.

Speak to your Professional and book a service while the winter is with us , and you will have the peace of mind that your trolley will be fit and ready for the coming season.

Happy golfing !

AVAILABLE EARLY FEBRUARY 2012 As the latest model to the very popular Protrolley electric golf trolley range , the Protrolley Ultra trolley hosts a range of new and dynamic features. This superbly engineered trolley combines the latest lightweight and super strength materials with a powerful 180 watt motor. It is very stable, easy to maneuver and folds in a no-fuss, the quick lock movement, allows it to fit into the smallest of car boots.

With its superb construction and modern design, the new Ultra golf trolley boasts sturdy aluminum alloy frame, with an oval shaped section for extra stability, the handle has been designed for both left and right-handed golfers. 

The new styled battery tray is now a sleek ABS moulding and accommodates both 18 hole and 27 hole golf batteries. The batteries plug straight into the connector fixed into the tray, there are no flying leads to find and wrestle with. It features a new handle, built-in responsive speed control roller with a choice of 5 speeds, a soft touch standby switch, and a separate Digital Distance Function (DDF) button allowing direct access to this feature. The Ultra comes standard with Pneumatic sports wheels, which are easily removable , Other wheels are available as an optional extra for when you need different make up’s for different courses. The Ultra electric golf trolley is available in 4 models: 20Ah, 26Ah, 33Ah and Lithium. Whether you are a serious or occasional golfer, the ‘ProTrolley Ultra ’ has been designed and engineered to suit your game and your pocket.

There is also the small matter of Luke Donald being World no 1, after two fantastic years of the most consistent golf I have seen. The passing of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il takes away his biggest threat , as he once claimed to shoot a 38 including 11 hole in ones !!

Have a very Happy Christmas and a great Golfing Year in 2012 , from all the Protrolley team.

I have been watching Golf for many decades , and have never seen any player play at such a consistent level , over a two year period . Add to this the fact that both Tours have never been as competitive , with many players teeing up every week with realistic chances , and you realise how awesome he has been. Sure people are crying out ”  ..but he hasn’t won a Major”  but surely that is only a matter of time. When you watch Luke play you will see how wonderfully controlled his swing is , never over reaching himself and peppering the flag from start to finish , and this will surely bring him a ” big one” very soon. Blessed with a superb short game and a determination that matches anyone in the game , he will be around for a very , very , long time.

Rory McIlroy has got a mystery illness at the moment and we can only hope he recovers well over the close season , along with Lee Westwood , Sergio , Quiros , rookie Tom Lewis and a host of players in the States , including a resurgent Tiger , Luke will be pushed hard next season but I expect him to carry on the good work.

To be consistent in your own game you need to prevent tiredness creeping up on you , and the best way to combat that is by using an Electric trolley. Many models are available to suit your needs at Protrolley who will be happy to advise you on your perfect “partner”

Happy golfing !

Woods looked far from his former , dominant , self.  But who knows what will happen in the near future , when he relaxes from this win and stops fighting his golf swing , as was so  in evidence this weekend.

Rory also won in Hong Kong this week and although it was not the strongest field in quality terms it was at least a full field numerically. The work he has been doing on strength in the gym was in evidence , as his arms appeared considerably bigger and as he is maturing I have no doubt he will be World No. 1 in the near future.

Here at Protrolley we are busy doing Electric trolley checks for customers , involving battery diagnostics , frame checks , electrics and anything else that needs attention. I recommend you have your trolley checked over through the winter months and you will be fit and ready for next year.

Happy golfing !

IT’S MORE FUN FROM THE SHORT GRASS

Walking up the middle of the fairway from the tee box to a golf ball sitting pretty on the short grass is a good feeling. It makes golf much simpler. Luke Donald gives up 30 yards to a player like Phil Mickelson off the tee, yet he outscores him week after week. While Phil gets the airtime producing magical recovery shots (from places he shouldn’t have been in the first place) Donald keeps putting it in play and hitting those greens in regulation. Who do you think is having the most fun? I want you to put ‘distance’ to one side for a moment and think about the benefits of finding the fairway. Yes, you may have to sacrifice 20 yards, but if it doubles your chances of hitting the green in regulation then surely it must be worth it? If you’re still in any doubt here are a few very good reasons why accuracy, and not brute force, is the way forward.

1/ You don’t get flyers from the short grass.

2/ You get a consistently good lie.

3/ You get accurate distances.

4/ There is nothing in your way.

5/ Ball striking and accuracy go hand in hand.

6/ Electric trolleys don’t perform so well in the woods !!

Happy golfing from the Protrolley team.
