OFFICIAL MyGolfSpy Reader Review: Motocaddy
ajlacombe replied to GolfSpyC's topic in Official Forum Member Reviews
I have an S7 Remote from the fall of 2017 - I have had a TON of problems with it and Moto Caddy was awful to deal with as far as getting it fixed - I had the same issues since I got it and once I was still having those issues outside of the 2 year warranty they made me pay a good bit to get it fixed and I did a lot of the installation of parts after having shipped it back to them for some repairs - they were just replacing things without any clue what the problem was. Now it is still flaky and I can not sell it in good conscious. If I were them I would stay in touch with customers and see how they were doing - ESPECIALLY if they had a ton of issues like I did. I would also offer them a good deal on trading in my cart for a new one. The joints on the original S7 Remote are crap - they are cheap/flimsy plastic. Parts have broken off and I am surprised it is still holding together. My playing partners know that they might be attacked at any moment by my rogue cart. It could be awesome if it would work as intended. They did take care of the structural issues of the earlier version as well. My remote is crap as well - it will randomly shut off or veer off course. Buyer beware - if you get one - make sure to beat the crap out of it with tons of use while it is under warranty because if you do not Motocaddy will turn their back on you once the warranty is done. Lastly I tried to feed back my comments and suggestions on how to improve the cart and they did not even care. As a company I am not impressed - your users are valuable testers and they can be very damaging with word of mouth advertising. At $1599 my cart was not cheap and I expected far more on all fronts. I use my Clicgear 3.5_+ when it rains because the umbrella holder is so flimsy you can not stay under it while the cart is moving. -

I put in a green last year and it is right next to trees. I live in Cincinnati Ohio and we had a super wet first half of the year and then we had desert heat since then - just got out of the 90's today. After 1 year in, the turf is no different than day 1. It is infilled with Envirofill and I had to add more this spring. Pine Needles are a killer - they are hard to blow off of there. I imagine sap would be the worst, but that would mean a pine tree was on top of the green. I would keep the green away from pine trees. My douglas fir is too close and I pay when it drops needles. The green shown was about $12k, and I added the light turf myself. Got the turf from Amazon supplier and then had to haul 6+ ton of gravel for the base - then infill that with silica sand. I also have another bunker in the trees with regular sand in it. I have a mat that I hit into a net that I built the frame and can hit from the mat to the green or hit from anywhere in the yard. My green turf is a better putting surface which means it is not easy to hold a shot on it. It is about 35' at its longest width. It is a lot of work blowing leaves and tree crap off but I do that 4-5 times a week. I use the hell out of it and love it. I would go a little bigger if I ever did it again, and make sure you get contours in there - I love the ones that I had put in mine. If you have any specific questions, ask away. I used Tour Greens Ohio and they were outstanding to work with. If you go real grass you have to mow all the time, have a mower and deal with disease - it would not be any fun - I spend 10 minutes with a cordless leaf blower and I am golden (if leaves are dropping). The type of turf matters as well - some types are no appropriate for areas with more humidity (like where I live).
