Electric Golf Trolleys....

I'm a young (ish) golfer and I've a few problems with my back so I wanted to get a Powakaddy - until i saw the price of them.

Are there any good alternatives, Mc Guirks seem to have an Irish made one called golf glider - anyone any experience of these...

Are the Powakaddys reliable? I've heard mixed reports. The bottom of the range foldable on seems to come in around €400.
 
The one that cost 400 euro is called legend and comes in separate pieces so has to be dismantled and assembled each time..It is not as robust as the dearer one.Most people opt for the dearer one,as it is one piece,and folds away easily.Wait for a sale in Mc Guirks as they sometimes have a 20% discount of all items.
 
i have a hillbilly and i have it for 3 years and i find it good also friends have a mocad brand and they are happy with it

You can get the Mocad in Woodies. Supervalu have an electric one as well that is about €160. You can't really go wrong with that - I have the Mocad and it's fine. Have a Frazier as well that Mr Mul. and myself used to use because we played different days but now we sometimes play in the same competitions so I got the mocad because it is quite cheap in comparison to the Frazier.
 
Wife bought me a frazer a few years back. Wouldn't get one again if they gave it for free. On my third battery in 3 1/2 yrs (OK - its prob the battery more than the trolley - DONT buy the big cube type battery - it never seems to have much power, even from fully charged !)
 
My BIL says the Woodies job is the business.

Also 10% off on Thursday if you know an OAP or €5 off €50 in their current brochure.
 
Hello Servergirl,

The foldable Powakaddy seems to be the way to go. They are trouble free. True I agree with Irishgolfer on all counts. McGurks do have good sales from time to time as do Golf Works in Santry. My hubby has a powakaddy and swears by it. Some of his friends have other makes, cheaper, and they swear at them . I don't always assume that my hubby knows best but I would hear him complaining if his golf gear wasn't up to scratch. And btw, he has back trouble too - and the golf doesn't help.

Happy golfing

thanks for all the advise guys, may be worth waiting til the next mc guirks sale. seemingly they are getting all the new model powakaddys in very soon (which are about €100 dearer than their equivalent older model) so hopefully there'll be a sale soon. :-D
 
I recently purchased the new Powakaddy P5 "All bells and Whistles" golf trolley. It lasted one and a half round and packup up. I took it to a service guy who told me that they are being recalled from the market. Not sure what to get instead.
