GoKart works for sweeties

Feb 26

“Thank you GoKart. Nice to have great service from a company which is UK and does UK design and manufacturing. So here is something for you which is also UK owned, designed and manufactured from my home town; Pontefract Liquorice Allsorts. (We even used to grow the liquorice root in a field behind my house but that bit is now sourced in Iran or Iraq I think). Anyway, don’t eat them all on the golf course without first designing a GoKart loo attachment – liquorice is a laxative!

Best wishes, Ian G.”

If we answer the phone and say “G’kt, gud argernoon, how ugooo?”, you’ll know the reason. Thank you Ian

Ferret vs GoKart

Feb 22

“Please can you tell me how much a new black plastic ball that screws on to the front wheel is? Whilst fitting my new wheels and bag holder my ferret which enjoys hiding anything that is plastic and spherical stole it and buried it in the garage – never to be seen again. D’oh.”
Jenny M, Northampton

GoKart Ferret

According to Wiki;
“Ferrets have a strong nesting instinct and will repeatedly carry small objects to hidden locations. It is difficult to predict what objects ferrets will attempt to hoard, with owners reporting play toys, socks, bags of onions, pizza slices, keys, calculators, coins, silverware, aluminum foil, shoes, sponges, toilet paper rolls, textbooks, video game controllers, remote controls, footballs, brooms, pencils, erasers, bouncy balls, cardboard boxes, etc. Ferrets will seemingly form attachments to certain objects and will repeatedly ’steal’ the same object and bring it to their hiding place.”

Is it possible that it’s building its own GoKart, bit by bit?

We could also encourage owners to sign up to FERT, the Ferret education and research trust.

Skycaddie bracket on a GoKart – will it fit?

Feb 18

We keep getting asked if the Skycaddie can be fitted to the GoKart. Yes. Easy peasy. And here’s a photo to prove it, courtesy of Stewart Goodwin. Didn’t leave the scorecard visible then Stewart? That doesn’t look like middle of the fairway mud on those treads…obviously putting them to their off-road use.

So we reckon a GoKart bracket wouldn’t go amiss for such a use, but it’s nice to know that until we produce one there’s a solution that doesn’t involve sticky tape and Blue Peter craft type expertise.

Michael’s successful maiden voyage…

Feb 17

First time out with his GoKart, Michael Walton aced his first hole in one at the fourth at Walhampton. 187m uphill, the fourth is a good 5 wood and not the easiest hole to make mincemeat of.

It was his very first hole-in-one, and as you can see, Michael was so thrilled he immediately ripped off all his clothes and headed straight for a Carribean holiday to celebrate.  Well we asked for a photo, expecting a pic of him and his mate Bill (who witnessed said feat) looking a bit chilly in waterproofs on a windswept wintery Hampshire landscape – but we rather prefer this.
