Push trolleys

A good push trolley folds small, rolls easily on wet fairways and holds the bag steady. Three wheel designs are the most common in the UK.

Compare the folded size, the weight and the wheel size: larger wheels roll more easily over soft ground. A foot brake stops the trolley rolling away on a slope.

Check the bag straps fit your cart or stand bag, and whether an umbrella holder, scorecard holder and drinks holder are included or extra.
