I got a BMW branded one when I got my car (it has a holder installed in the boot), I’ve never used it on the course but it has been good when needed.

My Dad has one of these and the golf bag, swears by them.

Just my two pence.
Since switching from a brolly to a decent set of paclite Galvins, macwet gloves and a very good UA goretex bucket hat.
I no longer need or use a brolly as I’m totally protected. Saves the ball ache of up down brolly and looking for somewhere to stick it during windy conditions.
not for everyone I’m sure as the bucket hats are not the coolest looking garb. However I am a total convert. Much more freedom
Just to add I’ve played in some absolute downpours last few months. So the above is really combat tested.

Well you just put it in the umbrella holder on your trolley?

I carry pal.
To be honest. Having owned a few trolleys in the past, only one or two of them have survived a good gust of wind.
I see plenty of trolleys resembling the Cutty Sark speeding down the fairway.

Same here. I've had umbrellas in the past but up here, rain and wind usually come together so I don't bother about the brolly and for me it's just too much faff. So I just go for the full waterproof gear.
I tried this but the trolley arm was too low so I either had to crouch under it to see out or walk at full, short, height and not be able to see beyond 2-3m. I took it off in the end.
A bit like Robster, rain tends to come with wind here so rarely use a brolley. Only for intense summer/tropical bursts where it goes mad for 5-10 minutes. Otherwise I do what tuggles does, minus the bucket hat which I still can't bring myself to buy
In answer to the question, don't buy cheap. Bins around golf courses are full of cheap, broken brollys. I can't help more than that, sorry.

How can it be too low when you're only 4 foot 4?I tried this but the trolley arm was too low so I either had to crouch under it to see out or walk at full, short, height and not be able to see beyond 2-3m. I took it off in the end.

Nah, my new Rovic trolley positions the umbrella at a good height to be fair, the umbrella holder screws in at the very top of the handle rather than down on the side like a lot of other trolleys. If I'm carrying and it rains then yeah I don't bother with the brolly then, too much hassle carrying two things and trying to put it down without it blowing away.YandaB

With respect to the bit in bold, I added a brolley extension as I had the same problem and it works a treat. The other option would be to buy a brolley with a clear section to see through.I tried this but the trolley arm was too low so I either had to crouch under it to see out or walk at full, short, height and not be able to see beyond 2-3m.

I have a trolley size to suitHow can it be too low when you're only 4 foot 4?
. I have a Gokart and it does fit at the highest point of the handle. It just isn't very high.
That is a good idea although in all honesty it is often quite windy here when it rains so a brolly is not always practical. It was one of those ideas which seemed a good one but doesn't work in practice, for me, not for others I hasten to add.

What are these brollies you talk of? - played over 50 times since the restart and been rained on once - waste of money and space in the carry bag and useless in the wind we get at times.

I go the other way with mine, I normally have the handle at the maximum height, but if you stick the umbrella on then it sort of leans forward, covering more of the bag but less of me. So I have to adjust the handle down one notch then the umbrella is perfectly level over me.

I use the brolly holder on my bag to carry around the rake I pick up at the start of the round as we don't have them in the bunkers at the moment.

Do you use yours on a trolley, just wondering if it is tall enough to not obscure the view too much?
