Electric trolleys!!!

[Vikingman]

Over hit my second shot on the 13th today and though it finished just in bounds it was virtually unplayable.

For once in my life I decided to do the sensible thing, took a penalty drop and then holed the chip to make par.

Arms aloft I started walking towards the hole only for one of my playing partners to tell me he'd just seen my powakaddy topple into a ditch.

I'd actually heard the crash as I was lining up my chip but ignored it.

The comedy continued as I fell into said ditch retrieving the trolley.

After getting scratched to hell off them long spikey stem things we finally retrieved the trolley and myself from the ditch and although the trolley suffered some damage it finished the round.

I suppose the fact that its took me eight years to manage this is some consolation.

Always a comedy spectacle when trolley's go into ponds or ditches and owners go and retrieve them. Hope you're not too scratched up and the damage is superficial and won't affect performance. Good effort on the chip in too

Took me just two summers to run my leccy trolley into the pond by the 18th.

Did it on one of my last few rounds at the club too!

Was quite humorous indeed! Trolley was never the same since, mostly as it always pulled to the right after that, the gearbox gave up!

If it was a GoKart you should have rang them, they'd have come and got it out for you :smirk:

What does FC stand for? I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now but I'm confused

Fellow competitor normally, but in this case I could have easily used the swear version. :smirk:

At our club we have twice had senior member's electric trolleys end up in ponds. A regular contributor to this forum once parked her trolley to play her shot, and when she came to return her club to her bag it and the trolley had disappeared. Somebody found it still going about three fairways away.

The funniest one I have seen was at my previous club. Somebody had left a rather fancy remote controlled electric trolley with a large tour ball on it, on the patio outside the clubhouse. It suddenly started careering round and round in circles until it eventually fell over. The owner had left one of the zipped pockets open and about 50 golf balls fell out and bounced everywhere on the paved patio!

:rofl:

I don't have a power trolley but a s1 lite by motocaddy. I ws on the 1st green and in my perifery I spotted my trolley and clubs gaining speed back down the fairway and launching over the lip of a bunker, clearing the bunker and landing on it's side. I holed the putt and ran to get it. The guy behind me starts shouting "TEN, I gave it a TEN mate!!!" I buckled for about 3 holes laughing. I was sure I put the brake on.

so true - I have a GoKart, not only a fantastic design (when a mate first saw it he said it looks like it's been designed by BMW lol) but the after sales service is second no none on any product i've ever bought from anywhere

Played at Minchinhampton earlier this year in a gale. Our trolleys (electric as well as hand-powered) were getting blown over - quite amusing when three went one after the other when we were around one of the greens. At one point I had to park my hand-powered job up against one of my mates electric trolleys for support.

:rofl:

It made me laugh when a good standard golfing mate was once complaining about how much stuff he seemed to have to carry these days, and when trying to lighten the load found he had about 20 balls in there. He rhetorically asked "how many balls does a 3 handicapper expect to lose in a round"?

I was playing the brabazons 3rd hole and left my push trolley on the top of the greenside mound whilst i was taking a bunker shot. Turns out i didn't put the brake on and away it went into the lake. It rolled in quite a long way and sank.

I decided to strip off and retrieve it, only........ I was commando. So, in the middle of August there i was stark naked swimming out 10 yards to retrieve my bag and trolley about 8ft under water( ever tried moving a trolley and bag under water? Not easy)

Anyway i passed my bag to ''daveboy'' and dried myself off with a hand towel. To my delight 'daveboy' had waved a group through and i had one hell of an audience. In my defence the water was cold! Very cold!!!
