Check out our massive range of 2nd hand Golf trolleys here

If you play often, you’ll want to purchase your own set of golf clubs, and also a golf trolley. But why purchase new, when there are many used golf trolleys on our site. You have two options for golf trolleys – used golf trolleys that you must manually push or pull around the golf course, or a used electric golf trolley.

Why a Used Electric Golf Trolley is Best

A golf trolley is used to help transport your golf clubs around the golf course. You may be tempted to just lug them around over your shoulder or back, but after half an hour of that you’ll be tempted to just give up on your game and go home to rest.

Your golf clubs can be attached to a golf trolley which makes them easier to carry them around the course.

The difference between a regular trolley and a used electric golf trolley is that the electric one is battery-powered, and is much easier to transport your golf gear around the course.

It requires much less effort than having to manually push or pull the trolley around.

If you’re over sixty-five years old, or have some old injuries that trouble you, finding used electric golf trolleys for sale will help to get you out of the house and get fresh air to help you get back in shape.

Walking is one of the best exercises, and swinging a golf club gives you a gentle way to exercise your upper body. But you don’t want to over-strain your back by having to carry a heavy set of clubs around.

Electric golf trolleys do cost more though. If you’re just starting out in golf, you can find nearly new electric golf trolleys on our site that are just a fraction of the cost of buying a brand new trolley.

Where Did Electric Trolleys Originate?

The first electric golf trolley was seen in the UK in 1983. It was designed by Joe Catford, who had created the Powakaddy company and line of electric golf trolleys.

He saw the need in the market for something that would help players enjoy their golfing more. Later, Catford created another company called HillBilly, which started manufacturing golf caddies in the early 90s.

What Are the Other Benefits of Finding Second Hand Electric Golf Trolleys for Sale?

Instead of having to go to the expense of renting an electric golf trolley from the golf course, you can actually have your own, to use at any time. There’s no need to line up at the golf course store to rent one, or to be disappointed if all the electric ones are out that day and you’re stuck with a manual one.

There’s also that fun element to having a second hand electric golf trolley. You press the ON button and your nearly new electric golf trolleys will drive themselves over the course, while you can relax and make your way to the next hole.

You can chat with your golf buddies when travelling to the next hole, without having to struggle to breathe and move your golf clubs over.

Where Do I Buy a Second Hand Electric Golf Trolley?

If you’re ready to shop around for a used electric golf trolley then you’re probably puzzled as where to buy one. Used electric golf trolleys for sale are more of a specialized item that you won’t see in the usual secondhand online stores.

What Features Should I Look for in an Electric Golf Trolley?

The newer golf trolleys are made with lightweight frames. This not only makes them easier to push around manually, but takes up less power when in electric mode. The most common material is aluminum, which is both lightweight and strong.

A hand held remote control also gives you a hands-free option to control your golf trolley’s route over the golf course. This gives you the option for powering on or off, and also adjusting the speed and the direction it’s going. There is also a reverse option for when left or right isn’t enough.

A quality lithium battery is also essential. One full charge of the battery should get you to all 36 different holes before your game ends. There should be a spot to allow for a score card and other gadgets.

An umbrella holder will be handy so you don’t have to worry about carrying it all day long.

Some used golf carts may even come with an app you can download to your device. You can download a map of the golf course to help with your game.

Now that you know where to find second hand electric golf trolleys and used golf clubs for sale, you can actually look for your own. You can choose one with the features you desire. Save yourself the back pain and buy an electric golf trolley that will help you feel more energetic on the golf course, and give you a more enjoyable game too!

The traditional home workout kit of hand weights, a mat and a static bike has been expanded to include all manner of internet connected fitness items from watches and heart monitors to bike frames which can take your road bike’s wheels and run on rollers while you go virtually head-to-head with the cycling pros.

But cycling and running aren’t the only sports to benefit from connection to the internet. Golf, too, has internet connected golf simulators for sale which can show you your shot in any number of stats as soon as you have hit the ball.

True, some home golf simulators in the UK need a bit more space than your average spare room, but don’t let that put you off. When greats like Tiger Woods tell you how much golf simulator screens have done for their game, you know it’s worth investing in one if you take your golf seriously.

Fun even when the courses are closed

Golf in the winter in northern Europe is no fun. It’s cold, often raining, and the light is limited due to the short days. Instead, with golf simulator screens, you can play indoors, in the warm and dry.

You could even stream music while you practice your shots. Sure, you won’t have the exercise of walking round the holes, but you will achieve a workout of sorts from practising your swing.

The average home golf simulator for sale can calculate your shot speed and trajectory and many of them allow for multiplayer options so you can challenge your friends too. Your choice really comes down to your budget, your preferences and the space you have available for your UK golf simulator.

The well-respected SkyTrak brand has a Game Improve golf simulator package on sale which might suit you if you already have the basics down but are looking to improve your abilities. It will show you your swing position plus tracking your ball trajectory and distance to allow you to hone your skills. It is the best choice for those new to the home golf simulator market in the UK.

SkyTrak Golf Launch Monitor golf simulator screens allow you to hook up to your PC or tablet and look at your stats in comfort. The protective case means the monitor is portable, so you can play your golf wherever you are.

The bundle also includes a short throw projector and floor mount enclosure for those locations where a ceiling projector is impractical. Golf simulators cost a bit, but when you can use them anywhere like the SkyTrak, the cost quickly repays itself.

The SkyTrak Game Improve UK golf mat is suitable for use in a garage, basement, large shed, barn or even your living room. It needs a minimum of setting up, as long as you have the right amount of space.

It has arguably the best launch monitor on the market and a 3D driving range to test the best. It will instantly show you key stats including flight, distance and swing. It is also compatible with many Apple tablet devices.

SkyTrak also offers a Tee Off UK golf mat package which is often rated as a very realistic experience when playing golf through a simulator. This software has a planning option so you can set up your tee just as you would in real life. You can plan your hit and swing, practise and improve your game.

The kit is the same as the Game Improve: a Launch Monitor, protective case, short throw projector and floor mount enclosure. It is an ideal beginner’s golf simulator with a cost to match.

ProTee, meanwhile, offers the Ultimate Edition which has 3D simulation, allowing you to use your own clubs to play each shot. This simulator is suitable for home, commercial and professional use, so no matter your level, it will meet your needs and challenge your game. You can practise fairway shots, putts and every shot in between with full swing analysis after each shot.

ProTee’s Ultimate Edition has two software packages, ProTee Golf 2.0 and the Golf Club Simulator. It is presented in widescreen ultra HD and also offers over 100 golf courses with live tours and tournaments to keep your interest up. There is a multiplayer option of up to 8 players.

For the techy nervous, there is free remote installation support and free lifetime updates for the product.

The ProTee Ultimate Edition is not the cheapest golf simulator on the market. As it is aimed at the heavier use given by commercial and professional users as well as the lighter use from a home player, it is robust and has a thorough support and update service.

FlightScope Mevo+ is squarely aimed at the novice golfer, however. It’s budget friendly, as you might expect from an entry level simulator, but even so, offers immediate visual feedback and data on all your shots using a radar doppler system. The FlightScope system offers a short throw projector, launch monitor with charging cable, carry pouch and mobile app. The simulation package has five courses and a wider choice of practice ranges, as would befit a less confident golfer.

A simulator like this gives the chance to work on your game before you even join a club, which has its advantages, especially given the cost of membership at some courses. You will be able to see shots on video with data overlay and learn as you play by seeing how to improve your technique.

The FlightScope is also at the affordable end of the home golf simulator market in the UK, which allows would-be golfers to try before they lay out on a full club membership.

The Trackman system is widely used at well known golf clubs and by top club and shaft manufacturers.

It has many famous courses in its repertoire, and could even be the closest many amateur golfers get to actually playing a round at world-famous courses such as Gleneagles, the Belfry or St Andrews.

Trackman, which uses dual radar technology, is favoured by hundreds of touring pros and coaches because it can be used indoors and outdoors. It offers insight into approach, strike and flight and can also be used for precision putting.

One radar looks specifically at what the clubhead is doing, the other tracks the flight of the ball after it has left the head. The system can be linked to mobile phones and tablets for ease of use and clarity of feedback.

This flexibility also allows the system to adapt to changing conditions according to the chosen settings.

There are a number of things you need to consider when picking your ideal set up. Golf simulators, although for home use, are often aimed at businesses as well, as they make a great addition to golf establishments, corporate buildings and leisure facilities..

Whether your club is shut because of the lockdown, or you always wanted to perfect your swing but kept finding excuses not to, a home golf simulator can be a sensible investment for your money and time. You will need to make sure you have a budget as they can be costly, but once you have worked out the features you need, you will know roughly how much your chosen system will cost.

Whether you’re planning for the new golf simulator for your home to be housed in your garage, a shed, its own room or be brought out on demand, there will be a suitable system for you. From a simple screen and driving mat set up to a dedicated monitor with entire courses at your disposal, what you choose depends on the available space and your budget. You could go for one of the home golf simulators that simply makes practicing your swing fun, or something a lot more serious that the PGA pros use.

Golf Simulators Height

The available height in a room or space is probably the first thing you need to take into consideration for your indoor golf simulator in the UK. A golf swing should ideally have space to swing, after all. The best swings are perfected with a clearance of around three metres, so a shed, garage or any room with a high Victorian ceiling would be preferable. The general recommendations are 9.5 to 10 ft (2.8 to 3 metres clearance). You also have to factor in the projector mounting. It’s better if your projector is mounted straight down from the ceiling. This minimises the shadow on the screen and means the image is square on the screen, which helps develop your style. This does mean the system will not be portable though.

Golf Simulators Width

Likewise, you will need to take the width of the space into account. The best width is around 9 ft (2.7 metres wide) so you’re looking at a square space, more or less, for your new driving mat or indoor golf simulator.

Golf Simulators Depth (length of room or space)

Your space should be a minimum of 16 ft long (4.5 metres). Converted garages make ideal golf simulator enclosures, as long as you have somewhere else to park your car, of course. You will also need to ensure you have enough space for the screen, which has to be around a foot (30cm) from the back wall.

Where do I tee up?

Your tee should ideally be a minimum of 8 ft (2.5 metres) from your screen. Some of the systems use radar which only recognises a shot when there is a distance of at least 5 metres between the simulator’s sensor and the screen, so you should bear this in mind when choosing the best system for you.

What is a golf enclosure?

In bigger areas you will often see golf simulator enclosures in use. These are framed structures with a roof, sides and back wall, which will keep your practice in its own space and minimise the risk of broken fixtures, fittings or other damage.

How do I choose an indoor golf simulator system in the UK?

There are many different golf simulator systems available and the choice simply comes down to personal preference. The projector should be suitable for the space in which it will be used, offering sufficient brightness, adequate size of image and fitting into the right position in the room to give you a clear picture that’s wide enough for you to tee up accurately.

Projectors have three ratios, 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10. Any screen not in those ratios will have gaps around the projection (think letterbox style film projections). However, most projectors, when hung from the ceiling, are capable of producing a 4:3 ratio image which will fill a 13½ ft x 10 ft screen. In addition, the ceiling mounting works with a golf enclosure too.

Technology

Of course, these golf simulators for home use come with all kinds of connectivity and inbuilt technology. Some of the simulator systems, like the Skytrak Launch, connect to your tablet and display your shot’s vital statistics – launch and flight data – as soon as you’ve hit the ball. The Skytrak system is easy-to-use and portable as well, allowing you to use it at home, or when it’s open again, at your golf club. Others are designed for more advanced players and are the kind of set up you might find in golf clubs or pros’ practice areas.

The Trackman 4 system uses radar technology to recognise the trajectory of your shot, as long as it is more than 5 metres from the screen. FlightScope’s technology wants you to give it 7 metres of room. The system that you choose should make the most of the space you have available, whether that is a room, garage, shed or barn.

Golf Simulators Features

Each manufacturer has a slightly different way of designing their home golf simulators, so you could go for one which is entirely portable, one which offers a floor installation rather than an overhead frame or one which has the course designs you like the best. The way the shot is tracked varies between designs too, as do the training packages on offer, the camera quality and the availability of a multiplayer option. It depends how you want to use the golf simulator and how many extras you need or can afford. FlightScope tends to be aimed at beginners, while ProTee gives free remote installation support and free software product lifetime updates, with a price to match.

Quality

Of course quality will play a part in the cost of the product too. The camera, tracking software, driving mat and analytics will all be part of the cost, and if you are after a good quality example of any of these, you will have to factor that into your budget.

In the beginning this will be fine. But as you practice and improve your game, you’ll be tempted to buy your own set of golf clubs and a golf trolley to help you transport them around the course.

Why You Should Buy Used Golf Clubs

With a quick search you’ll quickly find thousands of options for second hand golf clubs for sale. This may be confusing, but also addresses the issue of trying out an activity first, before committing to buying an expensive set of brand new golf clubs. 2nd hand golf clubs is your next best solution. Most secondhand golf clubs will look new-to-you, as the buyer changed their mind and never used them.

You can buy your set of secondhand golf clubs now, and when you decide you love playing golf and will do it regularly, then you can move up to a brand new set, or you can add more golf clubs to your golf kit.

Where Do I Find Used Golf Clubs for Sale?

Used golf clubs are for sale everywhere, however, we advise that you buy from a reputable website. For one, there are a lot of scams going around, and even if you can avoid them, you should keep your personal information safe. We run the Golf Trousers and Clothing Sale website which lists hundreds of reputable eBay listings that have used golf clubs for sale. You can search through the listings to find exactly the set of 2nd hand golf clubs you need.

Where Do I Find Second Hand Ladies’ Golf Clubs?

Golfing is gaining in popularity for women too. It offers a chance to get outside into the sunshine, and to work muscles that may have been sitting for too long during the day. Best of all, the entire family can get out to play a game or too. But women also need golf clubs. They can use the men’s clubs, but may find they’re a bit too bulky or heavy. They do make women’s golf clubs, but like men’s, they can be pricey when purchased new.

The best option is to search for second hand ladies’ golf clubs. Most will look brand new so no one will ever know that they’re not! You can also find ladies’ golf clubs on our site.

What Should I Look for in 2nd Hand Golf Clubs?

Besides buying from a reputable seller, you should also check many of the features. The last thing you want is to receive a set of clubs that are duct-taped together and that will fall apart on first use. The first feature should be their condition. How old are the clubs? And if they’re old, how often were they used? Check the photos that the seller has posted so you can zoom in and look at dents or scratches. If you need to see more photos, then reach out to the seller to ask.

Used golf clubs may also come with a rating system of 1 to 10. A 10 will be a brand new club which is still in its packaging. Fair condition is fine if you’re learning, but if you’re serious about the game, seek a 7 or higher.

If the price is low, find out why. Someone may be desperate to make a few pounds, but the golf clubs may be in rough shape too. You may have to spend another $50 to $100 in having the clubs re-gripped. You’ll have to decide if you’re willing to do that.

You’ll also be seeking a specific fit. Read the specs to see if they’ll fit your height. You should know that while you can’t get used clubs to custom fit you, that they may have been custom fitted to their previous owner. And that could mean they’re not right for you. The listing should include the shaft type and length. Read the listing to check for lie angles, such as upright or flat irons.

Generally, you’ll need several different clubs depending on what type of shot you’re making on the green. This is why you should be searching for a set of second hand golf clubs for sale, and not just one or two.

But these specs aren’t any good unless you know how they work with you. If you’ve been fitted with golf clubs before, then you should already have a list. If you’ve rented a set of clubs from the local golf course, make note of the ones that work perfectly for you. If you currently have no idea, set a golf course booking and then rent a set of golf clubs to try out.

See if the golf clubs come with any other accessories. If they’re included that’s great. Or, you can find second hand golf accessories too.

Check the Authenticity of the Golf Clubs

Like every other branded item out there, counterfeit golf clubs are also a problem. Be sure that the photograph of a potential purchase shows the logo. Then do your research to ensure it’s exactly the same. If it’s a sticker, run fast!

Re-gripping Second Hand Gold Clubs

The grip of a golf club is where you actually hold the golf club for a good swing. When you buy a used set of clubs, you might have to do a re-grip of them. This is also the best way to make your new set of used golf clubs feel and look like new again.Check out our golf simulators info here
