Watch the Majors. Win a GoKart

Mar 13 2008

GoKart Masters Competition

Who needs a green jacket when you can win yourself a GoKart?

All you have to do is predict who’ll win at the US Masters at Augusta, and for a tie-break question, what the winning score will be.

To enter just click on “add a comment” below, fill in your name and email and put your answer in the box. Remember, tell us who you think will win and what their score will be.

We’ll be running the same competition for each of the 4 majors in 2008. If you win and you’ve already got a GoKart, if you like you can have the equivalent in batteries and accessories.

To get you started and save you a bit of googling, here are the winners, and their scores, for the last ten years: 1998 O’Meara (279); 1999 Olazabal (280); 2000 Singh (278); 2001 Tiger (272); 2002 Tiger (276); 2003 Weir (281); 2004 Mickelson (279); 2005 Tiger (276); 2006 Mickelson (281); 2007 Johnson (289).

So take a look at who’s been on form so far this year and have a go. Only one entry per person please, but tell your friends and get them to enter too. We keep everyone’s email address private and don’t pass them to any third parties. You may get an occasional email newsletter directly from us, but you can unsubscribe with a single click at any time. If more than one person gets it right, we’ll have a draw to pick the winner. Only entries posted before the tournament starts will be considered, and we’ll announce the result here after the last round on Monday 14th April.
Good luck!

The Big Vote Result 1

Mar 12 2008

We are pleased to confirm that, based on votes cast by visitors to the GoKart website, Severiano Ballesteros was the world’s best golfer until he dunched it in the drink with his 4 iron on the 15th at Augusta in 1986.

Seve

This must be true because 72% of you said so. However we are rather worried about the 28% of voters who think Severiano Ballesteros is an embarrasing skin condition (I hope he hasn’t seen this).

Life with hedgehogs (not a natural history programme);

Mar 07 2008

Just to explain, hedgehogs are being tested on this trolley, and feedback from the owner may be useful to other GoKartees:

“New wheels arrived – thank you very much – and so did the Hedgehog tyres. (more…)
