Are you the type of person who really cares about the environment and tries to behave as “green” as possible in every aspect of your daily lives? Well, if you are, then you'll love the device you'll read about as follows, namely the Golf TowCaddy, which allows you to get your golf game going without wasting any fossil fuels.

Practically, the TowCaddy is a small trailer that can be very easily attached to one's bicycle and carry their golf gear (bag and accessories) either on the golf course or even from the golf course to the user's home.

Of course, given the nature of the Golf TowCaddy, this thing also has some limitations. One of them is represented by the maximum supported weight, which is of around 25 pounds (or 12 kilos). Furthermore, the manufacturers strongly encourage users not to carry more than one golf bag at one time, since pulling them might be a little too difficult for them to handle.

In fact, users are also provided with the following warning, for their own safety, “Because of the TowCaddy’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a TowCaddy is heavier and less responsive. Avoid sudden swerving, rocks and curbs. Experiment with the loaded TowCaddy in an area free from traffic and obstruction until you become familiar with it.”

Additionally, the TowCaddy should only be used with a bicycle (no motorized vehicles allowed), and supports a maximum towing speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads and 5 mph (8 km/h) or less when turning or on uneven roads.

The TowCaddy is not even that expensive, since it sells for somewhere in the vicinity of 200 US dollars, which, come to think of it, is a pretty affordable sum, given the fact that, after all, it will help you spare quite a hefty amount of money on the long run.
