RolleyGolf announce new 2017 model

RolleyGolf’s new and enhanced 2017 models will offer golf clubs an even greater opportunity for revenue generation as the company continues to revolutionise the way golfers traverse the course and speeds up the pace of play in the process.

The original RolleyOne was the result of five years’ meticulous R&D by the UK company and introduced golfers to a product which offered a choice between walking or riding around the golf course, as the machined movement creates a seamless transition from power-assisted walking trolley to a ride-on machine, all with one pull of a lever.

At Stellenbosch GC, in South Africa, the Rolley has significantly improved the pace of play. The club reports that, in a buggy, a round takes, on average, more than four hours; using Rolleys, a round takes around two hours, 40 minutes.

Other enhancements include the most efficient and powerful TWINDRIVE system to appear on a Rolley – intelligent braking, to quicker detect gradients, stopping users safely on even the steepest hills; plus environment detection sensors, ensuring excellent traction no matter the weather – and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The introduction of a three-stage, fully adjustable, telescopic steering column, with a new twist grip allows for one-handed operation, while the extended walk-mode handle, provides improved manoeuvrability on long walks, and the refined silent motor provides a greater power-to-weight ratio, for the ultimate ride.

Company founder Arnold Du Toit said: “I designed the Rolley originally because I couldn’t find the exact product I wanted to add to my golf experience. I wanted a different option to carrying, pushing electric trollies or driving a buggy. And then, I also realised it was a real boon for golf clubs, in that it could be hired out in much the same way as buggies.

“It had to be completely invented – we couldn’t just strap a golf bag to something that pre-existed. Golfers deserve true innovation. And we created it nearly 10 years ago. Since then we have refined it to become an award-winning piece of British engineering.”

Each RolleyOne is hand-built and assembled by experienced craftsmen in RolleyGolf’s UK studio and, for 2017, there are four models. Purchase prices for the RolleyOne 2017 range start from £3,950, for an individual unit, with fleet prices upon application. Low-cost lease options are also available upon application.
