Finding a power golf caddy can be easyFinding a power golf caddy can be easy. With a little research you can decide which caddy is right for you. Here are some guidelines to help you in that selection process. Start buy

setting a budget, the price tag can depend on many variables depending on what accessories you get. You have two choices in power golf caddies, remote control or manual. The difference in cost is small due to the demand over the past several years.

In selecting the right caddy for you, manual or remote makes no real difference, look at these 3 area's for comparison: 1. Performance, 2. Control Features, 3. Drive Train, which I believe the most important. Let's look first at number 3. drive train, you have front drive and rear drive. The front drive is best suited for manual operation and probably the easiest to operate. Now for rear wheel drive you want dual wheel drive these provide the most power and work very well for hilly courses, and can be purchased for manual operation or remote control operation. Look for sealed motors and at least 180 watts each. The wheels should be 1 piece construction for best results with rubber tires.

Now lets look at performance, your cart should be made from lite weight material but sturdy, remember most carts weigh 30 lbs and your battery is 25 lbs and then your bag plus equipment in another 40lbs. Let's not forget your not always running down the middle of the fairway with these caddies, your often in the rough. So durability is important. Your battery should be rated 30-40 ah and I prefer the Gel batteries due to low maintenance.

Last thing to consider when buying a power golf caddy are control features,

1. variable forward speed control

2. distance advance- this allows cart to travel a pre-determined distance 15, 25, or 40 yards and then shut off until it's next command.

3. cruise control- set it and forget it, cart goes the same speed until you change it.

4. direction- forward, reverse, right and left turns and of course stop.

5. automatic shut off- caddy shuts off automatically after 30 seconds if it receives no new commands.

In summary you enjoy many years of service with these power golf caddies and there easy to transport to and from the course and will fit in almost any size car trunk. So enjoy walking and not worry about strain on your shoulder or back, Let your new power golf caddy do the work for you.
