Golf is no longer a game of just hitting the ball. The game of golf has evolved into a more serious and competitive game in present times. With the increase in competitiveness, technologies have been introduced to help a golfer understand and analyse several aspects of the game like wind strength to make accurate judgments of distance. Several products and equipments have also been introduced lately to help a golfer overcome the stress and fatigues and focus more on the game than on the injuries. In fact, golf is a game of techniques. Mastering the proper techniques, from body postures to crucial judgments to reduction of tiredness will lead a golfer to perform better. And the high-tech equipment introduced to help a golfer achieve his best have actually taken the game of golf to the next level.

The most notable of all these pieces of equipment in recent times is probably remote controlled golf trolleys. These items help a golfer reduce his stress and concentrate on the game. One of the intrinsic parts of the game of golf is carrying around the golf bag with all the necessary clubs and other accessories. After every swing, which itself causes a lot of strain specially on the lower back, shoulder, neck and arms, a golfer needs to carry the golf bag which often weighs about thirty to forty pounds across the course to the next point. A long walk of four to five hours, along with the weight of the bag takes a massive toll on the golfer’s body. It causes problems on the stress prone areas and results in fatigue long before the game is over. As a result, their performance is often hindered.

To remove this unnecessary fatigue, the push pull cart was introduced. This was a plain manually driven wheeled cart to carry the heavy bag across a golf course. However, though it did minimise fatigue to a certain extent, it didn’t prove to be very effective as it still needed the golfer to bend down a bit and push or pull the heavy cart around. It still affected the lower back and shoulders. Later on, it was modified into an electric trolley that would run on battery. This improved the conditions but required quite a bit of manual intervention.

Keeping all this in mind, remote controlled golf trolleys were introduced. Now this proved to be the real next generation golf equipment. These remote controlled golf trolleys, as the name suggests, are further improvisation of the electric trolleys as they can be operated buy using a remote control only with a push of a button. These items are lightweight, foldable, easy to use and if maintained properly, are long lasting. It doesn’t require much manual intervention. As a result the stress and strains on the lower back and shoulders due to carrying of the heavy bag is completely negated. It has a very powerful engine that carries the remote controlled golf trolley well through the 18 holes of a game. Most importantly it takes care of the golfer’s worries of fatigued muscles and injuries leaving him free to focus on the game and master the perfect swing. With all these benefits, remote controlled golf trolleys have definitely taken the game of golf to the next generation, making it better than ever.

Why ?  Well everybody in sport knows that fitness is important , and just because golf is considered a sedentary game , it does not mean that fitness does not count. The fresher you are at the end of the round , the more likely you are to finish off that good round with a strong finish  rather than wondering why it was another one that “got away”.

Fully laden a carry bag can weigh-in anywhere between 20-30lbs; an enormous contributor to the build up of fatigue. Think of carrying this weight over 4 hours and 5 miles and you can begin to appreciate the exceptional stamina and concentration levels required if you’re to give your best performance from the first tee through to the 18^th green.

Many golfers fail to appreciate just how much time their golf clubs spend , NOT in their hands, but in their golf bag, slung across the shoulders, while they are walking between shots , and therefore sapping their strength. With a Protrolley electric trolley you can just walk along , saving that energy , just as the pro’s do with their caddies.

If you want to save your back, an electric  golf trolley is well worth investing in – using one instead of carrying your bag can improve your health and your game.

Invest in an electric  trolley or a push trolley – not one of the pull variety.

Golf may seem like a gentle sport, but lugging a great big bag stuffed with clubs over one shoulder, then walking 18-holes with this dead weight, can in fact be brutal. If you don’t invest in a good quality electric golf trolley or push trolley, carrying your golf bag can cause terrible back pain and strain, which will affect the technique of your swing and could leave you vulnerable to injury. The most common injury in the male professional golfer is in the back, and four out of five golfers, at whatever level, will suffer low-back pain at some point in their lives.

Electric and push trolleys, save your back

All golfers are aware of the problems of back pain and how it can affect their game. Carrying your own bag instead of utilizing a specifically designed golf trolley can lead to unnecessary strain on your back. Employing an electric or push trolley could in fact improve your game – carrying your bag not only affects your back but can be exhausting. Using a golf trolley  means you can save all your physical energy for your golf swing.

A pull trolley can cause you to twist your back without realising it, even causing long term problems . Whereas a push trolley means you can maintain good posture. The addition of a front wheel to most makes, means they are much easier to use. Some roll so freely they have to have a brake fitted !!

Get fit

Improved athleticism will help protect you from damaging your back while strengthening your muscles for the game. Although you might think carrying a golf bag will make you fitter than wheeling one on a golf trolley , you’d be mistaken – the best place to get fit is in the gym using correct equipment under expert supervision. Slinging a bag over your shoulder and suffering around the course will only cause injury and take away the pleasure of the game.
Strength, flexibility and endurance all play a part with effective warm-ups, stretching and core-strengthening work essential.

Avoid back problems

How can the recreational golfer take the first step in the prevention of back injury?

• Invest in an electric golf trolley or a push model from Protrolley – this will save strain on your back
• Get fit – stronger and flexible muscles will improve and protect your golf swing
• Get professional lessons – the correct technique with your golf swing will save you from injury

However, Golf accessories also play an intrinsic role in the most common injuries. A fully loaded Golf bag can weigh up to nearly 20 Kilograms, thus putting a massive strain on the back, neck, shoulder and arms of a player. Even for a pull trolley, commonly used for carrying the clubs, it is necessary to walk around in a bent forward and twisted position, thus causing a potential risk of back and shoulder pain.

The injuries caused by poor physical fitness and sporadic play could be prevented by strengthening and flexing the Golf muscles through regular exercise. But what could possibly replace a Golf bag or a pull trolley and has been around for some time? Of course, I am talking about the electric Golf trolley… What are these accessories all about? Do they actually reduce the risk of back injury or are they simply a fashion accessory used by the upper classes purely for added comfort?

An electric Golf trolley, as the name suggests, is a battery operated automatic Golf trolley that could be either manual or remote control. It provides easy transportation of clubs from tee to green and allows a normal upright posture while walking. This reduces the risk of strains and injuries. This also provides added comfort and helps the golfer to concentrate on his swing.

Golf is a game of relaxation. Hence a high comfort level should always be maintained to enjoy it to the fullest. Comfort being an important factor should never be overlooked. On the other hand, the strain and pain being an inherent characteristic of the game, also makes it extremely necessary to adopt every bit of prevention and exercise to reduce the risk of injuries. Electric Golf trolleys, with all its advantages, provide both, thus making it an essential accessory for a relaxing game.

One example would be the tiresome activity of lugging that heavy bag of clubs around the course, complete with waterproofs, drinks bottle, banana and a dozen balls. A full bag can weigh up to 20 Kilograms, putting a big strain on your back, shoulders, neck and arms. Stop lugging that heavy golf bag and let an Electric golf trolley work for you. Using a powered cart is about game improvement, leaving you to concentrate on your swing and executing your best shot.

To those that have brought an electric caddy, they are finding that it is the perfect playing partner. More and more golfers are realising just how important a cart is for their game. There was a time when using a motorised caddy was something of a luxury. In most places it is not like that anymore, powered trolleys are fairly common and almost the norm. You rarely see a whole group walking the course with out at least one of them using a powered cart.

An electric Golf trolley, as the name suggests, is a battery operated automatic cart that could be either manual or remote control. It provides easy transportation of clubs from tee to green and allows a normal upright posture while walking. This reduces the risk of strains and injuries. This also provides added comfort and helps the golfer to concentrate on his swing.

There are many benefits of using a powered caddy over a traditional pull trolley. With the manual option, you are required to walk around in a bent forward and twisted position. Which after a while can in my experience cause back and shoulder pain, thus negating the benefit of a trolley? The best option is a powered caddy; an electric trolley will transport your clubs from tee to green with ease, whilst allowing you to walk behind the cart in a normal upright position, gently guiding the trolley at you own pace.

The most common of these injuries is the lower-back or spinal injury, closely followed by the left wrist and shoulder. At least three out of every five golfers experience back injuries at some point of time or another. The primary causes of such injuries are due to poor swing mechanics, poor physical fitness and sporadic play.

Owning an electric cart doesn’t have to cost the earth, they are compact, come complete with a range of accessories and cost little more than a quality traditional trolley.

However, like all equipment, a golf trolley also needs proper maintenance to function perfectly in the long run. It needs to be cleaned properly, the wheels need to be cleared of mud and debris which accumulates during the long sessions on a lush green course, the clutch needs to be cleaned, and so on. Failing to do so might cause the golf trolley to malfunction and leave its owner stranded in the middle of a game.

Although a golf trolley requires all these maintenance steps to function properly, the main area of concern for its performance remains the battery. The battery is the primary source of power for the golf trolley and it requires proper maintenance and proper charging methods for a long lasting performance, and in turn helping the golf trolley to perform better. It is essential for the proud owner of a golf trolley to know how to properly maintain its battery for the optimum utilisation of the equipment.

The primary step for maintaining the battery for a golf trolley is proper methods of charging. Special care should be taken to ensure that the battery is being charged in the correct method. For this purpose, it is important to know that a battery life will depend on certain factors. They are the frequency of use, the number of holes played in each round of the game, the type of the golf course i.e. whether it’s hilly or flat, the weight of the bag and clubs that the golf trolley would carry across the course for the entire stretch of the game and, of course, the battery age. A new battery should be charged for at least 24 hours to activate it before using, even if the “charge complete� light comes on before the time is over. A battery should do fine for 18 holes. Using it for more than that without charging might discharge and damage the battery. So after every game it should be properly charged. It is definitely not recommended to keep the battery connected to the charger with the mains switched off. In the case that the golf trolley is not required to be used for a long time, the battery should be stored properly. It should be fully charged, removed from the charger and stored in a place having a temperature between ten to thirty degrees Celsius. It should be recharged every three months at least.

Many remote controlled golf trolleys are being imported into the European Union as their demand increases. However, not all these trolleys abide by European standards. Hence they are illegal. In order to be legally marketed within the EC, the products need to pass the R&TTE test. This test is to ensure that the transmitter of remote controlled golf trolleys abide by the strict guidelines and maintain European standards. It ensures that the transmitter is within safety limits and would not interfere with other devices in the area. OFCOM, the regulatory body for communication devices in United Kingdom has banned several products for failing the test.
