He focused on developing what the British call electric “golf trolleys.’’ “We wanted something remote-controlled, because there were some out there at the time, but they had trouble with balance and stability, plus the steering wasn’t very good.’’ In 2003 Stewart Golf was launched and the following year its X1 Remote model was on the market.
