Digs from the pro

[Grumps]

I've been getting digs (smart arsed comments more like) from our pro about my trolley as its the clicgear 1.0 with the air tyres. He tells me I shouldn't be allowed them on course as the thin wheels ruin the ground and the greenkeepers don't like them either .
I've spoke to greenkeepers and he doesn't have a problem with it as its not a motorised one .
I think the pro just wants me to buy a new one from him as he keeps pointing out the similar ones in the shop

so my dilemma is do I tell him to bog off as I've spoken to the greenkeepers or buy a diff trolley but not from him ?

I'd just say you've chatted to the greenkeeper and he's fine with the trolley you have so you'll be sticking with it.

Other option is to see if hedgehog covers fit it? Mine has air tyres too and some courses don't like them but can't get hedgehogs to fit so usually hire a pull one in such circumstances.

Unless they ban your trolley or you want a new toy I'd tell him to do one!
And carry on as you are, at the end of the day if head green keeper happy there's no need to worry.

100% this.

I would also take Amandas' advice and tell him you've spoken to the green keeper and see how he reacts.

That should tell you all you need to know.

Or you could borrow a mates trolley and rock up at the pro shop and say do you like my new trolley? Bought it from American golf

Just one question....
Did you show the greenkeeper the trolley concerned?

One of my playing partners has been using my old clic gear 1.0 as he broke his trolley. He has been asked not to use it in the Winter as the club requires hedgehogs to be used and it is assumed that the inflatable tires cause as much damage as normal ones. You can buy a replacement wheel kit with a set of hedgehogs included but that costs about £50.00. He is now borrowing my stand bag and carries.

I might have a Ping carry bag he could buy.....if he's old enough

If he wants to buy a stand bag he can buy the Nike one from me that he is using at the moment.

You may get the chance to ask him yourself, I gave him your card on Saturday as he wants to get rid of a fade that has found its way into his drives (Plays off 11). May need a few more your cards at this rate.

I have a nice set of Go-Kart hedgehogs so no need for me to change.

The hedgehogs only fit the foam wheels

Yeah I caught him out on the course and he said he couldn't see any problems with trolley. Plus he has never mentioned anything about trolley bans to the pro or greens committee

 

[Grumps]

I thought the hedgehog kit was just the hedgehogs not the wheels may look into that one anyway
