'A trolley-good investment!' says review winner

PowaKaddy Freeway Titanium electric trolley

Alastair Herold (37) from Bridgwater in Somerset claims the PowaKaddy Freeway Titanium electric trolley he bought is ‘the best golf investment he has ever made.’

A ten handicap member at Cannington golf course he told us in his

August user review: "It’s a great piece of kit and a very sound investment. When I get tired during my round it helps me concentrate on my golf shots and makes a difficult game easier."

"I feel much fresher towards the end of my rounds," says Alastair, a carpenter, who’s studying to add plumbing to his professional qualifications. He also revealed that the course where he plays comes highly recommended. It is 12 years old and set in beautiful countryside and is maintained by students studying to be greenkeepers at Cannington college.

He adds: "I try to play once a week and I would love to put more time into it but my short game gets me out of jail regularly. When I get it down to single figures I will be a happy bunny!"

Distinctive Mezza Monza putter

Another is 14-year-old schoolboy James Warwood from Wrexham, who helps pay for his golf with a paper round. "The pay’s good and you’ve got to start somewhere," he says.

James who admits he’s a reluctant bandit playing off an 18 handicap at Clay's Farm and Padeswood & Buckley Golf courses, told us about his

TaylorMade Rossa Mezza monza putter, which he says ‘works like magic!’

"It’s a great putter and since the day I got it, I knew it was
special. I got used to the feel of it very quickly, and even holed a 40-footeron the first evening. I also holed a
94-foot putt (my partner paced it out) in a competition recently," says James, who also reviewed his

TaylorMade V-steel fairway metals, which he described as having ‘great feel, sound and looks.’

Completing our trio of user-review winners is Mark Partner from Basingstoke, Hants, who claimed the 21-degree

Howson GBH Attacker utility club he bought cheaply helped shave 10 shots off his score.

"This club makes hitting far off the fairway a doddle," says Mark (35), a software engineer who took up golf in April. "Clean strikes are much easier than they are for a 3- or 4-iron. And the ball flies high and straight... even for a high handicapper like me."

He mostly plays at Milford Golf Club in Surrey but says he only
played his first round in July.

"So far I have been attempting to get consistent with the basics and I feel I am making a lot of progress," he adds.
