Golf Monthly June 2022

It might not have changed since it was selected for Editor’s Choice last year but its inclusion once again in 2022 is testament to the innovation found on the Q Follow electric trolley. It offers a unique user experience, both in terms of looks and how it performs, with lucky owners often commenting on the extra enjoyment and freedom it affords. The concept is simple and cleverly executed – the Q Follow will automatically follow behind you at a safe distance, matching your walking pace and leaving your hands completely free to do other things like take a drink of water or simply soak up your surroundings. It will even match your speed when going down slopes thanks to its sophisticated braking system, so there’s no need to worry about…

Established in 1990 by Swedish entrepreneur Tomas Nilsson, Galvin Green has been helping golfers deal with changing weather conditions for over 30 years.

Last year’s ER11v was already a very high-MOI, full-size mallet but the new ER11vx, with its redesigned side sections, appears to have taken stability and forgiveness up another notch. Built for stability A putter has to look good to your eye over the ball, of course, and for us, the combination of silver and black with a very clear – and indeed, exceptionally wide – single white sightline is great to look down on. The high MOI and added stability are primarily down to how and where…

Upgraded tech While many golfers will be familiar with the S1 moniker, there is plenty of new technology to get excited about in the latest Motocaddy S1, such as that simplest-ever assembly system, in which one latch opens and folds the entire chassis. Folded down, the S1 boasts an extremely compact footprint that makes storage in the car boot a breeze. This is bolstered by the invertible rear wheels, which actually save a surprising amount of space when you’re looking to transport or store the S1 after…
