Trolleys
Push, electric and remote-follow — saving your legs without emptying your wallet.
Stewart Q Follow vs MGI Zip Navigator AT: follow mode is a fair-weather feature, and the drive decides autumn
One trolley walks behind you with the handset in your pocket. The other goes exactly where your thumb sends it. On dry, open ground that is a preference. From October it becomes a question about traction, weight and how often you were reaching for the handset anyway.

Softer, wider trolley tyres are the free winter upgrade, and the turf is what you're saving
A narrow, hard, over-inflated tyre on saturated turf is how ruts start, and ruts are how carry-only days start. Almost all of the fix costs nothing.

The Motocaddy I would actually buy is the one in the middle
The screen is the bit you pay extra for. Downhill control is the bit that earns its money, and on this model it costs less than the trolley above it.

MGI Zip Navigator AT review: the remote trolley that finally stopped being a gimmick
At around $1,700 the Zip Navigator AT pairs full-directional remote control with all-terrain drive. On a hilly course that combination is the point. On a flat parkland course it is a very expensive way to walk.

One asks you to push your own clubs up the hill. The other does it for you, for nearly three times the price. How to tell which one you actually need.

The buggy is quietly making your golf worse. Walk.
Ride-everywhere culture has convinced a generation of golfers that a cart is a convenience rather than a compromise. It's costing you rhythm, course feel and the low-grade fitness that keeps you sharp over eighteen holes — and the modern push cart that fixes it is nothing like the clattering trolley you're picturing.

Stewart Q Follow vs PowaKaddy RX1 GPS: follow-me or remote-control?
The robot-caddie era has quietly arrived, and it has split into two philosophies: a trolley that follows you down the fairway on its own, and a trolley you drive from a handset with a GPS brain bolted on. Here's which robot deserves your money — and the honest case for buying neither.

The push cart won America — riding should be the exception now
Walking golf boomed in 2020 out of necessity and never receded: a walked round is roughly five miles and comfortably north of a thousand calories, the old trolley stigma is dead, and the courses that banned push carts have quietly given up. On the busiest golf weekend of America's year, here's the case for making the cart the exception.

PowaKaddy CT8 GPS review: the compact trolley with GPS baked into the handle
It folds smaller than almost anything in its class and puts a colour touchscreen GPS on the handle. Is the integrated screen worth the premium?

One saves your back for not much money; the other saves your legs for rather more. How to spend wisely on carrying nothing.

An electric trolley is the best money I've spent on golf
Not the clubs, not the gadgets. The thing that made me enjoy walking 18 again was the least glamorous purchase in the bag.

Motocaddy M5 GPS review: the electric trolley that does the thinking
GPS course maps, downhill control and a battery that shrugs off 36 holes — the do-it-all electric trolley most walkers should buy first.
