I am getting to that age (!) when I am contemplating an electric golf cart. Being a web fox I have been doing some research today.
Hammond, Garratt and Lyle - hi ho silver away
And I have found the answer! It’s not what my golfing mates will be expecting (they too have purchased or are purchasing an electric golf trolley). But I think it will be cool…
I am thinking it can be no more embarrassing than Richard’s remote control buggy that seems to have a mind of its own – it nearly wrapped itself around a bunker! This was just after he had chased it after it went AWOL. “Teething problems” he remarked.
when I was in San Francisco with the Sheriff of Nottingham last year we hired Segways for three hours and went on an amazing tour. They are great fun – but perhaps ‘cool’ isn’t the answer. One of the reasons they have not taken off here in the UK is that there is no clear position on whether you can ride them on the pavement or the road. In San Francisco the rules were that you had to ride on the Road – which was, at times, quite challenging!
So there are no issues here – there are no silly rules on Golf Courses?
On the other hand – I might go for something a little more conservative! Like a Motocaddy!
UPDATE 17 APRIL
I was running out of time before I tear the Borders apart, so headed off this morning for European Golf in Arnold and splashed out on a PowaKaddy… It’s charging up as I blog!

I’ve been starting to learn playing golf recently. Do you know what model of golf clubs is best for a newbie like me? Thanks

Hi Rebecca, welcome to the world of golf. The best thing to do is to go to a golf shop (not a sports shop) where they have somewhere you can hit a ball. We have an excellent shop in Nottingham (European Golf in Arnold) but there are lots of shops. They will be able to tell you what clubs are best for you – and they will understand budgets! In the end I had mine fitted by TaylorMade – but they were not cheap! They were worth every penny though! Good luck!
