Here at Onlinegolf, we have a range of comprehensive golf trainers for you to choose from, including golf training aids from the recognised brand Izzo.


Range Finders

Golf GPS and Golf Range Finders

GPS range finders work in the same way as sat navs in cars. The golf GPS systems such as Garmin, SonoCaddie and SkyCaddie allow you to plan your golf in more detail. You are able to download golf courses to your golf range finder, which is the same as having a yardage chart in your hand, but instead of a book you have an electronic gadget. They are R&A and USGA approved which make them competition legal and make your round more enjoyable as it tells you where all the hazards lie.


Another type of golf range finder is the Laser this uses an invisible laser beam which bounces off a distanced target at a click of a button, using advanced digital electronics; the range finder instantly calculates the distance within +/- 1 yard/metre. It then shows the range in either yards or metres on a through-the-lens LCD display. When using this gadget it literally takes seconds for the laser to relay the measurement, this is the most accurate form of measurement out of the two types of golf range finders. These are also R&A and USGA approved and can also be used in competition golf.

Electric Golf Trolleys Guide

electric golf trolley

For most golfers, an Electric Golf Trolley is big investment and an exciting one at that! Benefitting from a motor to propel them around the golf course, electric golf trolleys are the ultimate energy preserving method of carrying your golf clubs around the golf course – Let the electric motor take all the strain, leaving you to concentrate on your golf and saving your energy to the 18th hole and beyond!


Once the golf bag is attached to the trolley and the motor is switched on, all the golfer needs do is guide the trolley along and the motor will do most of the work. Electric Golf Trolleys are particularly useful for golfers with bad backs or those who prefer to exert less energy when transferring their golf equipment from hole to hole.


Electric Golf Trolleys generally come with a lead acid 18 or 36 hole battery, which as the name suggests, last for 18 or 36 holes of golf. The 36 hole version is ideal for golf competitions, with the 18 hole version more suitable for recreational or senior golfers.


A recent introduction is the lithium battery, which is approximately 25% the weight of a traditional lead acid battery, making it much easier to transport the electric golf trolley, and with some models, even allows you to fold down with the battery in place. These lithium batteries are not only significantly lighter and smaller than traditional batteries, but also last a lot longer, and are much more reliable.

Distance Golf Balls

distance golf balls

For less experienced golfers in the mid to high handicap range, Distance golf balls are ideal as they offer a few extra yards and less spin and feel. These features give the average golfer a bit more of a chance to attack their scores and lower their handicap.



Distance golf balls are designed to maximise power transfer from your golf swing to the golf ball, so that they fly fast from your clubface and down the fairway. Distance golf balls also often go on a high flight to assist low handicap golfers in getting extra distance, and make par-4 and par-5 holes more achievable.
