The Motocaddy SE is the brand's back-to-basics electric trolley, aimed at golfers stepping up from a push cart who want the legs done for them without paying for tech they won't use.
The Comfort Golfer's Kit
Play more, hurt less — kit that's kind to your body.
Golf should get easier on your body as you get wiser, not harder. A bad back, dodgy knees or simply a few more years on the clock shouldn't cost you the game you love — it just means being smart about the load you carry and how you prepare. This kit is built around one idea: take the strain out of the round so you finish the 18th feeling as good as you started, and play again next week.
The biggest single change is to stop carrying. An electric trolley takes every pound off your back and legs, so the walk becomes a pleasure rather than the thing that wrecks you for two days afterwards — and pairing it with a genuinely lightweight bag keeps the whole setup easy to lift in and out of the car. Cushioned, supportive waterproof shoes save your feet and knees over four-plus miles. Then it's about the body itself: a gentle dynamic warm-up with a weighted trainer and a resistance band loosens a stiff back before the first tee (cold, unprepared swings are where injuries happen), and a foam roller, massage tools and a bit of targeted heat afterwards keep you moving for the next round.
This is the shelf for the golfer who intends to keep playing for decades — or who's coming back from a niggle and wants to protect it. Look after the walk and the warm-up, and golf stays a game you can enjoy for life. If you're a committed walker chasing the lightest possible setup, see The Walking Golfer's Kit too.
The Big Max Dri Lite Hybrid is a fully waterproof hybrid stand bag built to do double duty: carry it on your back one day, strap it to a push or powered cart the next. Aimed at the walker-rider who wants one bag for everything.
The GO GOLF Pro 6 is Skechers' top-tier on-course shoe. The standard version is a waterproof, lace-up spiked shoe with replaceable Softspikes Tour Flex Pro cleats, and it sits alongside a spikeless SL model and a Twist-Fit dial version in the same family. The headline is comfort: the podiatrist-designed Arch Fit insole and ECO FLIGHT foam are the same DNA that made Skechers a walking-shoe staple, now aimed at four-plus hours on grass. It carries a one-year waterproof warranty.
The Orange Whip Full Size is a tempo and rhythm trainer: a heavy orange ball on a deliberately whippy 47 inch shaft, aimed at golfers who want smoother sequencing, more flexibility, and a no-thinking warm-up before a round.
The GolfForever kit pairs a set of resistance bands (plus a training bar and weighted ball on the fuller bundles) with a subscription app of golf-specific workouts, built around the routine Scottie Scheffler's camp made famous. It's aimed at golfers who want more clubhead speed and fewer aches, not gym rats.
The original hollow-core patterned foam roller from TriggerPoint, with a 13-inch firm EVA surface designed to mimic the varied pressure of a therapist's hands.
A pocket-sized heat plus vibration wearable: a magnetic massage pod that clips onto a sticky gel pad you slap on a sore spot. Aimed at golfers who want quick relief for a stiff back, neck or shoulders before or after a round.
A budget set of firm massage balls, usually a lacrosse-style ball, a spiky ball and a peanut, used for self-massage and trigger point release on golf's problem areas.
Frequently asked
- How can I keep playing golf with a bad back?
- Take the load off it. An electric trolley means you carry nothing over the round, a lightweight bag is easy to handle in and out of the car, and a proper dynamic warm-up loosens the back before you swing. Cold, unprepared swings and a heavy carry bag are the two things most likely to aggravate it.
- Is an electric trolley worth it for an older golfer?
- For most, yes — it's one of the best investments in staying comfortable and playing more often. It removes all the weight from your back and legs, so you arrive at each shot fresh and finish the round without the ache that can put you off the next one.
- Should I warm up before a round of golf?
- Absolutely, especially as you get older or if you have a niggle. A few minutes with a weighted swing trainer and a resistance band raises muscle temperature and mobility so your first-tee swing isn't a cold, jerky lunge — the classic recipe for a strain.
- What helps golf recovery after a round?
- Gentle self-massage and mobility. A foam roller and massage balls release tight hips, back and calves, and a bit of targeted heat or percussion helps you loosen off so you're ready to play again sooner rather than seizing up the next day.
