The Evolution of Golf Trolleys: Why Follow Golf Trolley Technology Is Changing the Way We Walk the Course
For decades, golfers have understood the value of walking the course. Walking provides a better connection to the game, improves rhythm and focus, and delivers undeniable health benefits. Yet carrying a golf bag for 18 holes — or even pushing a traditional trolley over hilly terrain — can still lead to fatigue that affects performance late in the round.
Today, golf trolley technology has evolved dramatically, transforming the walking experience into something more enjoyable, effortless, and modern than ever before.
One of the most exciting innovations in recent years, moving beyond the power assisted electric golf trolley that most us today, is the Follow Technology — a feature that allows a golf trolley to automatically follow the golfer hands-free around the course. No pushing, steering, or remote control operation required. The trolley simply tracks and follows the player, creating a truly effortless walking experience.
At Emerald Golf Distribution, we have seen tremendous interest in this technology, particularly with the introduction of the Axglo E5 Follow Trolley.
More Than Just an Electric Trolley
Traditional electric trolleys already provide a significant advantage over manual push trolleys by eliminating the strain of pushing a loaded golf bag across the course. Power Assist and Remote-control trolleys took this one step further, allowing golfers to more easily manage their trolley or guide the trolley from a distance.
Follow golf trolley technology represents the next evolution.
Using advanced sensors and intelligent tracking systems, the Axglo E5 can autonomously follow the golfer while maintaining a safe and consistent distance. The result is a more natural walking experience that feels remarkably intuitive after just a few holes.
Golfers are free to focus entirely on the game, their playing partners, and the course itself — not on managing their equipment.
Why Golfers Are Making the Switch
Many golfers initially view Follow golf trolley technology as a luxury feature, but after experiencing it firsthand, they quickly realize the practical benefits extend far beyond convenience.
Reduced Fatigue Throughout the Round
Even walking with a Power Assis trolley requires continuous effort over four to five hours of golf. On hilly terrain or during wet conditions, this physical strain becomes even more noticeable. By removing both carrying and pushing from the equation, golfers conserve energy throughout the round and often feel fresher coming down the final stretch.
A Better Walking Experience
Walking has always been one of golf’s greatest pleasures. Follow technology allows players to enjoy the course in a more relaxed and social way. Without needing to constantly manage a trolley, golfers can walk naturally beside playing partners and remain fully engaged in the game.
Ideal for Golfers of All Ages
While Follow technology is popular with technology enthusiasts, it has also proven especially appealing for golfers looking to continue walking the course comfortably for years to come. Many players who previously relied on golf buggies are now returning to walking thanks to the ease provided by modern electric trolleys.
