74 days and counting…

Jan 25 2009

Winter. Temporary greens, squishy tees and  (worst of all) trolley bans. We thought we’d just fantasise a bit about things to come. In our opinion things officially kick off the weekend we sit and watch the US Masters. So in celebration of that sofa-based event, here’s a bit of fore play for the proceedings. We’ll be warming up here ready for April 6th at Augusta with a regular bit of gossip/trivia/general frippery.

But for today – Ryo Ishikawa, 17 year old extraordinarily talented player who’s burst onto the Japanese scene, got a phone call to invite him to play at the Masters. You have to love his reaction;

“It would be rude for someone like me to speculate about where I would finish at the Masters. I’m not on the same level as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson but I would like to meet them.” Ishikawa added: “I don’t to think too much about it. I just want to play well. If just one person says ‘Nice shot!’ or remembers my name I’ll be happy.”

Ryo, you’ve got our vote.Ryo Ishikawa

Update on the GoKart Wheels

Jan 25 2009

Just a bit of advance warning – if you already have a GoKart with the original smooth tyres, from 16th February 2009 we’ll start to make a charge if you want to change to the new treaded wheels (standard on all new GoKarts). Still a snip at £23 inc p&p for owners with UK addresses.

Steve M, Stockton-on-Tees

Steve, mind you don’t invalidate your warranty.

Apologies for the delay

Jan 11 2009

Just a quick line to apologise to owners who’ve ordered new wheels, or non-clogging mudguards, for their GoKarts recently. There is a delay in shipping the revised parts at the moment. We’re not up to full production yet, and what with the Christmas holiday, we’ve got a little behind (even if we do say so ourselves).

We are working as fast as possible to catch up and hope you can be patient for a bit longer.
