Remote Controlled Golf Trolleys – Next Generation of Golf Equipment

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.

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.

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.
