Hi everyone
I'm thinking about purchasing a Rollygolf - hop on golf trolly but I'm 6 foot 3 and weigh 16 stone. I'm wondering if any TSG members have tried one and can give me any advice. My problem is I have an arthtitic ankle which makes walking difficult after about 9 holes. I know hiring a buggy is an option but i love the exercise I get from walking the course plus I think the between hole chat is a great part of the game especially with TSG members who are great fun
All comments gratefully received

I don't think there's any pricing because it's a bespoke item. You have to go to their premises, be measured up, choose colours, extra add ons, etc, and then you're given your price. I saw something on one golfing site that the ball park figure was between £5000 & £6000.

Hi everyone
Thanks for your comments and the info you have kindly found to help me. I'm am certainly going to cheshunt to try their skateboard, thanks Steve
In the end I went for a standard Pro Rider Electric trolley. also the lady I go to for physio, luckily a keen golfer, is referring me to NHS medical aids to see if i can get a specially designed golf shoe / boot to help me. She has also recommended an ankle brace which I have worn over 18 holes with minimum discomfort.
So hopefully ill be hacking my way golf courses on my own two feet for a few more years yet. I am however dropping some heavy hints to my kids that for my 70th they might like to chip in for a rolley
Thanks again
Dave Chapman

Hi David, i have been toying with the idea of the basic pro rider for £199, after a few rounds could you either message me or write a review on it
