Survey Results Revealed
13 July 2009
Thought that new driver was the best way to cut your handicap? A new survey from Stewart Golf has revealed the simplest way to cut over 3 strokes from your round without buying any new clubs, taking lessons or even practicing.
Stewart Golf powered trolleys are specifically designed to be remote controlled, and as a consequence benefit from excellent balance which is obviously essential on the hilly golf courses of the UK. The NASA-derived control system makes the machine easy to control, meaning all the user has to do is focus on their game.
Over 60% of Stewart Golf customers highlighted that their handicap has improved since using a Stewart Golf trolley, with the average improvement 3 strokes. 75% of Stewart Golf customers who previously carried their golf clubs have improved their golf game handicap by 3.6 strokes since using their Stewart Golf trolley. The average handicap is 13.6.
A third of Stewart Golf customers claim that they are now able to complete more holes of golf since using their Stewart Golf trolley. Not only this, but over 30% also highlighted that they felt that their overall fitness level had improved since using their Stewart Golf trolley.
Stewart Golf MD, Mark Stewart said, “Golfers often focus on trying to achieve that extra 5 or 10 yards on their drive but rarely think of how fresh they are when walking down the 18th.
Using a remote controlled trolley takes all the strain of carrying or pulling a golf bag, and the remote actually adds to the enjoyment of the round. Our customers walk the golf course like Tiger does, walking with an excellent posture and thinking only about his next shot.”
Stewart Golf has consulted the BCA (British Chiropractic Association) to ensure its customers enjoy safe golfing. Tim Hutchful (BCA Chiropractor and keen golfer) says: “A healthy back will improve your swing – there is no question of that. Simple factors such as dehydration should also be watched out for as this also causes early fatigue and a lack of concentration, leading the golfer to compensate by adjusting the swing; thus increasing the risk of injury.”
SG at Number 10 Reception
24 June 2009
Stewart Golf MD Mark Stewart recently attended a reception at 10 Downing Street to recognise the continued innovation and growth of Stewart Golf.
The Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Business Secretary Lord Mandelson hosted a reception for a selection of Britain’s most innovative entrepreneurs at Downing Street to recognise their contribution to business. The event brought together 150 entrepreneurs from a range of sectors and backgrounds.
While the world’s economies have been going through the most turbulent period ever seen, Stewart Golf has continued to develop new products and grow sales. The new £2500 F1 Lithium golf trolley has won the company two design awards and has been instrumental in helping the company to a 30% growth in like for like sales, with exports also growing steadily.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said at the reception: "I want to thank each of you individually for making the big decision to start a business, for taking the risk to do so, for making all the effort that has made your business a success. For showing the ambition and the aspiration to do something not just for yourself but for people whom you employ, and in that way to make our country a stronger and better place.”
Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson went on to say: "Britain’s entrepreneurs have the skills, resources and knowledge base to lead us out of the downturn. This reception is an opportunity to hear first hand from those entrepreneurs and businesses owners who have shown great enterprise and flair in ensuring that their businesses are successful in the current climate.”
Stewart Golf Managing Director, Mark Stewart said: “It was a tremendous honour to be invited to a reception for entrepreneurs at Number 10. Stewart Golf continues to grow even in these difficult times and I can only put that down to the continued innovation, persistence and sheer hard work of the whole team. We’re not resting on our laurels though; we have great plans for the coming years to build on that growth.”
F1 in Product Awards.
5 October 2008
The Stewart Golf F1 Lithium has been selected for a product innovation award by the jury at Golf Europe in Munich.
Golf Europe is the continents largest trade-only show and takes place in Munich every October to showcase the latest products that will be on the market in 2009.
The show was also the European launch for the new F1 Lithium in a very competitive environment. The number of powered trolley companies increases every year and competition at the very top of the market is fierce with a number of products retailing for over 4000 Euros, so it was especially sweet to be selected for a product award by the specially selected jury of experts from the German golf industry. The F1 Lithium was given the award for 'outstanding achievements in product design and development.'
