Gokart mystery parts – the resultJun 21 2008Posted in Euro, GoKart News by GoKartWe posted some pictures of a couple of GoKart components a while ago, and asked what they reminded you of (click here to have a look)
Well, the answer is the ghosts in the 80′s arcade game Pacman, A.K.A. Inky and Blinky;
So, the winner of three GoKart golf balls is Marc Smith. Well done Marc; we know what you were up to in 1981 (we favoured Galaxian at the time).

GoKart Umbrella HolderJun 20 2008Posted in Euro, GoKart News by GoKartWe’re getting well on the way with the design work for our umbrella holder. It’s the most requested accessory, and we apologise for taking so long to get it into production. We’re aiming to have it in available later this year, but that does depend on whether are any issues after it’s been prototyped. We can confirm it will be compatible with all GoKarts though, and we’ll let you have more news as soon as possible. In the meantime, here are a few pictures to show how it’ll work. (more…)

Win a GoKart Competition ResultJun 17 2008Posted in Euro, GoKart News by GoKartAs if the US Open finish at Torrey Pines wasn’t exciting enough for us all; there was a dramatic five way play off held here at GKHQ. Five people, of the hundreds that entered, predicted the correct combination of Tiger on 283 to win. There could be only two winners though, and first and second out of the hat were Chris W from Whitley Bay, and John H from Bridgwater. Congratulations to you both.
So here’s to Lee Westwood taking the British Open. Are we allowed to get excited for that yet please?

My Automatic GoKart is 2 weeks old and I'm really enjoying it so far. The cart bag is immense!!! Dave C.
As a typical Brit I do like to complain, but no matter how hard I try I can't find a reason to, in its own way quite annoying. Kevin C.

This is best piece of golf equipment I own. Certainly more beneficial than my clubs, I love it. Graeme C.

I was asked to complete a survey. I marked you top, ahead of Lakeland Plastics. Tony P.
I need my Go Kart servicing with a minor repair caused by a stray shot by an opponent (it went out of bounds, serves him right). Simon H.
This sounds like magic of the Darkest kind, to me. What manner of Demon have you conjured to make such a thing? Mark H.
I get lots of admiring glances on the golf course and I've a suspicion that one or two of them may be for my GoKart! John W.

The really neat thing is how the battery is an integral part of the trolley's rigidity and how you don't have to mess about with connections and wires. John M.
Gokarts are mint!!! Jason W.
It's very refreshing to find a company like yours in these tricky times. You are the Carlsberg of golf companys. Cheers! Michael McD.

Well done for running your business with honesty rather than b******t! Ian G.
Unfortunately the wife hates the trolley, said she can't get comfy in bed because the handle keeps digging her in the back. Steve M.
Quite simply, it is remarkable value for money and an innovative and clever design suggesting that there was considerable lateral thinking in its conception. John H.

I was used to friends admiring my swing!!! but now all they talk about is the GoKart!!! David W.
Absolutely, one of the best golfing items I have purchased, so much so I ordered two. One for me and one for my Dad. Mike B.
A joy to use, idiot proof (me proof anyway) and has been used for who knows how many rounds on every course you can imagine without missing a beat. Keith T.
To be honest, I'm getting tired of showing members and visitors how light, but sturdy it is, and how easy to unfold and to fold away in the car. Steve C.
Wallasey golf course is hilly and demanding but the Go Kart made light of it. I am delighted with it. Bruce H. Wallasey GC, the Home of Stableford
I was so delighted with it I even bought one for my wife and she doesn't even play golf. However, she loved it so much that she has now started. Martin J.
It looks so fine - My wife thinks I love it more than her, not that I am sleeping with it or anything like that! Danny F.
The seat arrived safely, thank you, but is it a right-buttock or left-buttock seat? Rob J.
I had lost a lot of faith in British industry but my experience with GoKart has restored this. James G.
I crashed it into some bushes and broken the handle thingy bit. I may have been slightly over the limit due to Xmas beer and brandy we had before our round. Phil R.
I am rather miffed that no one has taken my request for a bling style cart. Sandie B.

First time out with my gokart yesterday very disappointed, thought it would take at least 10 shots off my round. Steve P.

Please let me know when I can order a red bag to match my trolley. Unfortunately left a banana in my old bag over the winter. Jo W.
Your young lady suggested giving it some wellie with a mallet. After doing this to no avail, I hit on the idea of vaseline and it eventually slid into place with just hand pressure. Jim B.
Just received my GoKart, it took me longer to open the box than to set up the trolley. Jeff P.

I have two complaints; my new GoKart gets dirty when I use it in muddy conditions and I'm still pushing the ball left on the 3rd at Tynemouth. Michael G.
Trouble after 9 holes - it developed kangaroo tendencies - I hadn't clipped the battery in. It's a bloke thing - never read the instructions first! John A.
I'm charging my battery upside down. Is this OK? Keith P, Sydney, Australia
During the last few weeks my GoKart has been getting dirty! Please can you send some cleaning instructions to my wife. Barrie J.
GoKart delivered this morning, however your organisational skills need a little fine tuning; it was 6 minutes early. Alan B.
I won't be sending it back after 28 days, It's mine now and you're not having it back. Mark C.
Simple as simple can be to set up and what a joy to have a battery that feels like it can handle a Grand Prix after a hilly 18. Lee S.
Bought for Hubby's birthday. He said he hasn't been this excited since he got a Johnny Seven for Christmas when he was nine. He's 52 next week!! Olwyn B.
I am really taken by your buggy and find the design funky and different, very much like my golf trousers. Rob W.
I'm Red/Green colour-blind. I have ordered the Green GoKart and will let you know what colour I think it is when it arrives. Alun B.
Just given my Go Kart it's first outing. It behaved perfectly and looked fantastic in the evening sunshine...in fact it was quite romantic! Mark H.
A brilliant bit of kit; only minor problem was when I needed to borrow the beloved's GK, Unfortunately, I'd bought her the PINK!! Alan B.
Everything great with the cart ( could do with a wash do you valet?) Allan G
Thanks again for all your help. Quite simply the best customer service I've ever had in any country, ever. Martin S, Dublin
Your website is incorrect about the 18 hole battery lasting 27 holes. Mine lasted 30. Expect a letter from my lawyer. Adam F.
At 80 I was unable to get the old trolley out of my car boot so I bought yours. Now I can do it with one hand. Thanks. John S.
Wife is fed up of me playing golf, said either the GoKart goes or she does. I think the £3.25p bus fare too her mothers is money well spent. Steve M.
I think I am ready to have one of your Go Karts. I will ring you anon! Susan T.
This trolley is the dog's cojones and I love it so much I want it to have my babies. John A.

Thank you for the treeless invoice, but as an avid golfer, I am not a great lover of trees. George B.
One of your staff phoned my wife; said he sounded posh and sexy. If I end up divorced as a result I would seek recompense. An umbrella to go with the holder? Dick D.
Now I've got one, strange how I notice all those others who also have one. Bit like when I bought my first Lada. Sean N.
The grass at the bottom of this page needs cutting. Have a word with your greenkeepers. Peter MacD.
I was so busy showing it off to all my fellow wrinklies I played c***. I will not blame you for that as it is my normal game these days. Mal J.
My GoKart would make a wonderful wife - walks by my side, listening to everything I say, doing as she's told - and never answers back. Steve J.
My husband bought me a GoKart - I love it (and him). Mo M.
Trolley arrived as requested in time for my Wednesday morning swearing session, many thanks for your quick service. Eric H.
