Our Hedgehog winter trolley wheels review took place out on the course at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
Many courses have trolley bans in place during the winter or they will have a ‘hedgehog winter trolley wheels only’ rule in place.
Many brands such as Motocaddy have their own hedgehog winter wheels but the models we tested out were from the Hedgehog Golf Company.
Hedgehog winter trolley wheels review – The technology
So why are greenkeepers so keen to keep electric trolleys off the course during the winter?
Well, when it’s wet and muddy trolley wheels can cause serious damage to the course.
If you think about an electric trolley, it has two motor-powered wheels which have a fair bit of weight on top of them.
So what’s going to happen when they try and rotate in wet and muddy conditions? They are going to skid and make a right mess of the course.
The Hedgehog Fairway Protectors have parabolic studs which reduce contact with the soil surface by over 85 per cent, making it immediately easier to pull.
By fitting a set of Hedgehogs on your wheels, the weight is displaced across the tyres,
Hedgehog say having a set of their wheels on is like having power steering on your car.
