30-11-2011 1:32pm#1has anyone bought a HILLMAN golf trolley from "Irishsportswarehouse.ie" or the "MOcadfariwayking" from woodies . Seem to have alot of the same features the main difference being that the Hillman has a distance control button.
The Mocad is €249 while the Hillman €209 .
Any advice greatly appreciated

My new Automatic GoKart arrived yesterday. I am itching to try it out.
They currently have a promotion offering an extra battery, a set of winter hedgehog wheels or an accessory pack with each trolley order.
I went for the free accessory pack of a bottle holder, umbrella holder and a transit bag.0 -

You're right, form an opinion on it based on a picture :rolleyes:Golfer2012 wrote: »I dunno bout the go kart guys, it looks seriously flimsy.
I have one about 5 months and it's solid as a rock.
Really, didn't you read the "guys up there" who have actually used it giving it strong endorsements? :PGolfer2012 wrote: »I haven't heard great things about it

Based on what experience? I snapped the retaining buckle on the strap which holds the bag on the trolley (completely my own fault BTW) and emailed them offering to purchase a replacement after my round on the Sunday. Monday morning I got a call from them and Thursday a replacement was delivered to me here in Dublin FOC!!!Golfer2012 wrote: »apparently when something goes wrong its a nightmare to get parts sent over from the UK
Hate bad customer service like that :cool: It's why I never endorse the Go Kart or the service their staff provide
If only everyone thought this way wouldn't the world be a great place. For starters the owners of Golf Glider and Esport would only use Irish designed and manufactured motors and tyres on their products (like that's even possibleGolfer2012 wrote: »I prefer to stick to irish companies like Golf Glider and Esport Golf.
), no one in Europe would ever buy our agricultural products, we'd all be burning turf and travelling by horse and carriage because we'd insist on only using Irish sourced petrol and Irish designed and manufactured cars and we'd never have to deal with any of the millions of pesky international tourists who come here to spend their money Etc Etc
Don't suppose you contribute to Boards.ie on a Dell, Apple or HP computer do you by any chance? why didn't you buy an Irish designed and manufactured one? Don't suppose you use an Apple or Samsung phone do you? Beginning to see a slight flaw in your argument here????

hey guys apologies i seem to have angered a few people there, didn't mean to come off ignorant only giving my opinion from the few people I've chatted to about go kart....I don't have any personal experience with the company...your not wrong tho i probably am a bit biased since i already ordered a trolley that wasn't go kart.....although I do believe in trying to buy from irish companies when possible as long as I'm getting a product that is good quality, your right tho obv products like computers and cars arnt exactly available.....sorry if my salesmen comment came off offensive....no hard feelings 0

I'm newish to golf, and an good trolley is what I'm after, Go kart looks decent just looked at it there, good value, but did see that Esport trolley the other day, is it new as only seeing it now?? nice looking brand and looks a bit stronger than the Go Kart in my view, no offence to ye who have already bought it!! was saving for a powakaddy but now wondering is there really much point on dishing out?!!
beancounter15 wrote: »Just got a new Esport Golf trolley, looks good and reliable....bringing back old model with improvements which is good. Check it out.
FFS how obvious can you get.
Most people on here are intelligent enough to make up their own mind. You're not doing yourself any favours by shilling. Especially when there are plenty of users on here who have a gokart and have nothing but good reviews on them.0 -
again didn't mean to piss off anyone, i am new to boards i just thought id jump in and talk about stuff I've an interest in......i can't speak for other posts by users but mine was just general comment, it was actually one of the first things Ive ever used boards for, checked out some reviews of other trollies asked people had they heard of this new one and didn't really get a reply, went ahead and bought it came back on to see if i had gotten a reply, saw this go kart thread had heard some bad things but again I do admit i have no experience myself with them......thought id add a comment and then there is a serious fall out afterwards, I shall put it to rest tho, i understand things can come across totally wrong to people on a site like this......wish me better luck with future threads 0

Was that when you were dropping in your Motocaddy, Powakaddy, Glider or Powerbug? Or was it when your Mum was dropping in your pram?

Since forever "Ben". People are not stupid and if GoFart was any good we'd see it on all the golf courses. Ask yourself why does Ping and Taylormade have a large market share and say Mcgreggor has a small market share?
Can you not have a debate without being abusive?0 -

Personally I have never seen a GoFart on a golf course. I've seen two in my local repair shop and the guy there said they are a poorly made cheap piece of crap. They are made so cheap that they can replace the trolley up to 3 times in the lifetime of the guarantee.
But like our abusive friend friend BenThere I too am entitled to disagree with the point that GoFart is a good golf Trolley.
I would recommend the Motocaddy, Powakaddy, Glider or Powerbug if going down the electric trolley route.
Don't waste your money on a GoFart! When it arrives in the post you'll see why!

Em, I nearly feel bad for trying to bring this thread back on topic!
I have been looking around for a trolley for a few weeks, any used ones are either quite expensive or just seem too dodgy (thinking of wear to battery, motor, switches, etc.)
So I searched here for opinions I'd trust and I trust the opinions of the seasoned posters on here more than most and certainly more than the newbie guys seemingly pushing their own products. Looks increasingly like a gokart for me.
So, to those of you who have purchased gokarts;
Is it really worth paying the extra for the automatic version? I'd play twice weekly for 7/8 months of the year and once a week maybe the rest of the year.
They have a deal at present which is IIRC E25 off when you buy two accessories. Do they often do deals and might it be worth waiting for a better deal?
My birthday is coming up in March, although I'm itching to get my hands on one right away if there's a chance of a better deal coming up I'd somehow manage to wait as her good self might buy it as a present. 0 -

Happy Birthday. However before you waste your money on a GoFart you should break down the compnents of the trolley and compare it to others.
For a start its made of plastic which is too weak for the purpose of the job you are asking it to do. Every other manufacturer uses alluminium. Why? because it is more durable than plastic.
You would think that being plastic it would be lighter than other trolleys but I'm afraid it is not. The GoFart weighs 7.6kg without the battery which is the same weight as two other premium trolley manufacturers.
The battery is the weakest used in the industry (18Ah) every other trolley maker uses a minimum 20ah
Golf Retailers don't stock them, I wonder why?
Anyway best of luck with your decision. However my final word of advice is to go and ask golf trolley users (in your club, not the internet)0 -
