Most golfers come away from a pilgrimage to golf’s ancestral home with a deeper love for the game as it long has been played, as well as an appreciation for classic links courses.
But after teeing at places like Royal Dornoch, Prestwick, North Berwick and the Old at St. Andrews, Brad Payne also developed an idea for a better pushcart, or trolley as they say in the British Isles. And he started to sketch out designs for one as he nursed a dram of whisky on his flight back to the States.
Thus was born the Walker Trolley. The company is based in Austin, Texas, and at the PGA Show in January, Payne introduced his first two products, saying he drew his inspiration for their designs from classic automobiles and bicycles.
One of those releases is called the Cape, a collapsible pushcart with a patent-pending central hub that enables the handle and legs to bend on two separate axes for a compact fold. Made mostly of aluminum and offered at retail to the general golf public, it also features 12-inch, air-filled whitewall tires and a water-resistant, waxed canvas storage area.
As for the other Walker Trolley, it is a non-folding version called the Eden that is being made available directly to clubs, courses and resorts.
