I am looking about for a new trolley as the break system on mine is starting to fail. I am currently trying to choose between a Clicgear 3.5 non electric trolley and an electric trolley.

I have never had a electric trolley, so was after some advice and personal preference on them and the clicgear before I go and buy??

I can tell you about the one I just bought, but can't tell you how it performs because I haven't had a opportunity to use it yet. It is the Kangaroo Hillcrest Max. It is electric and remote controlled or manually controlled. It was rated as a solid performer with a excellent track record as far as requiring little to no maintenance over a long period of time. The term I read more than once was "built like a tank". I'm hoping for the best.

Yeah I am 29 and I have similar views to yourself but everyone I hear from keeps saying how they wouldn't go back to a normal trolley after having an electric one (lazy gits :D).

I don't really feel like pushing is a big issue at all, in all honesty I don't even notice at the end of a round that I am fatigued from pushing it. But I can see the logic behind it, technology is there to make things as easy as possible even if it is a lazy way out.

I think I am going to just stick with an non-electric one for the time being as I do think its a bit overkill and looks a bit of a mess on with the charging of the battery and so on.

I think the money spent on electric trolleys could be spent much wiser to improve someones game! Id rather get a garmin gps, or lessons, I bought a lightweight bag and started carrying my clubs this year, im almost 40, I only use a push trolley on hot days, it's just my way of trying to achieve extra fitness,

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
