But once autumn really gets going, it suddenly seems to have a lot more work to do. Waterproofs. Extra layers. Towels. Mitts. Drinks. Maybe even the bobble hat that looked unnecessary when you left home. Before you know it, the bag is carrying half the wardrobe and the fairways feel twice as heavy underfoot. So, is your trolley ready for the months ahead? Why a trolley earns its keep in winter This is the time of year when you really notice the benefit of letting something else carry the load. An electric trolley takes the weight of all that extra kit off your shoulders and lets you walk the course without carrying it around for four hours. When the ground is softer, your shoes are picking up mud and every hill suddenly feels a little steeper, that can be very welcome. Then there’s everything you want within easy reach. An umbrella holder when the rain arrives. A scorecard holder when the wind picks up. Somewhere for a drink, your tees and all those little bits you’d rather not spend half the round digging around the bottom of your bag for. Pair a trolley with a cart bag and you’ve also got far more room for the waterproofs, mitts, spare gloves and extra towels that seem to multiply at this time of year. Of course, there is one part of winter trolley ownership nobody gets particularly excited about: the mud. A quick clean of the wheels and frame after the round can help keep everything working as it should, while a travel cover can save you from bringing half the golf course home in the boot of the car. And if your current trolley is starting to show its age, PowaKaddy has some very different options depending on how much technology and convenience you want from it. PowaKaddy has you covered If you feel like you’d benefit from starting the winter season strong with a fresh trolley, there’s something in our PowaKaddy range for everyone. The PowaKaddy FX5 keeps things relatively straightforward. Its 1-Click folding system helps make packing it into the car simple, while the low-profile PowaFrame chassis, 30V motor and easy-to-use controls make it a strong everyday option for golfers who simply want a dependable electric trolley without needing all the extra technology. The PowaKaddy CT8 GPS adds plenty more information at your fingertips. Its 3.5-inch colour touchscreen gives you distances to greens, hazards and doglegs across thousands of preloaded courses, so there’s no need to reach for another device every time you want a number. It also folds down into a particularly compact footprint, which is handy when the boot is already full of winter golf gear. Then there’s the PowaKaddy RX12 GPS, which sits right at the top end of the range. Remote control means you can send the trolley ahead or guide it around the course from a distance, while the large touchscreen brings detailed GPS information into the handle. Add accessories such as an umbrella holder, ThermaMitts or a travel cover and you can build a set-up that’s very well suited to the colder months. Your existing trolley may still be doing everything you need it to do – and if it is, great. But winter tends to expose the little things you notice less in summer: how much space you have, how easy everything is to access and how much effort your trolley saves you over 18 holes.
