As I can no longer carry, and don’t want an electric trolley, I decided after years using a budget lightweight pull trolley to treat myself to a push a trolley, after posting on here and learning of the benefits of pushing rather than pulling.
Knowing that Motocaddy are a well regarded brand and with our pro being a stockist, I checked their website and saw that the S3 Lite, which has a built in clock, round timer and distance measuring unit, was now available for £99.99, the same price the S1 Lite which lacks these. I ordered one through the pro shop and have now used it on both my home, fairly flat, course and a more hilly neighbouring track.
First impressions were excellent. It is extremely well made with sturdy tubing and strong plastic parts. It looks and feels like it will last a lifetime, but on the other hand it isn’t heavy and folds and unfolds very easily once you get the trick of it. Folded it fits in the boot of my mid-size hatch back with room to spare. However, the wheels are detachable if you need to fit it into a smaller space.
You attach your bag using elasticated cords which are easy to clip into place and hold the bag very securely to the trolley. The trolley is based on the S3 electric trolley chassis and has an insulated bag where the battery would be. I can see this being useful not just for drinks but also to put jumpers, waterproofs, etc in.
It is a doddle to push and runs very smoothly. It is indeed much, much easier to push than pull, even on the hillier course. I played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and certainly felt less tired than if I’d been using my pull trolley. It has a good foot brake which clicks very firmly into place - just have to remember to put it on and take it off!
The clock and timer were useful as I don’t wear a watch when I play. The distance measuring device works from the wheels, like the ones you get for bikes, and you can use it to measure out a drive or the distance past a marker. I used it a few times, but it is a bit fiddly. You have to remember to reset the distance each time and the display is rather small. I think they could have made the numbers clearer and bigger.
My other slight criticism is the handle. Although it looks great, shaped like an aircraft wing, it is quite hard and angular and I don’t think it is as comfortable as the handles on the previous S3 model and the current S1 Lite which are more rounded and shaped to the hand like bike handle bar grips.
Other than that though, this is a super bit of kit and amazing quality for the price.

Beware though I found it can be a bit damaging to my ego to find out how far (short!) my best drives really are.
