“Stewart Golf’s electric caddies are very much like Bentleys,” said Today’s Golfer. “They’ made in Britain with high-quality materials, you don’t see them at every turn and new models only come to market after years of hard work and innovation. And that’s exactly the case with the Q Follow.”

An automatically retracting stabilizer wheel keeps the Q Follow safe and steady over all terrains.
