Like we saw with the S5 Connect, it uses Bluetooth to sync to the free Motocaddy GPS App and display front, middle and back distances on the sunlight friendly digital display.

Smartphone notifications can also be viewed, alerting the golfer to a missed call, text message, email or range of app alerts, including WhatsApp and Facebook.

Golf Monthly Says...

Motocaddy has made some significant changes to the frame design and battery to improve the compact-folding mechanism without affecting performance or ease of use. The range is impressive in that golfers short on space, be it in their car boot or where the trolley is stored at home, have plenty of options depending on the features they require.
