Yoga for Golf – get fit for 2010!
Feb 14 2010 Posted in GoKart News, Yoga for Golf, YouTube by GoKartFeeling a bit creaky? Belt still a bit snug after xmas? Not been playing much in the bad weather? Well ditch the excuses and join us for a little pre-season preparation. We’ll have you fit as a flea in time the first proper golf of the year (the defininition of proper golf is a) less that 12 layers of clothing, b) no temporaries and c) NO TROLLEY BANS).

Carol Jackson, our Yoga guru, has ten online lessons all ready for you, with one appearing on the blog each week. So here’s the first. It’s a handy little warm up that you can use before the other lessons, or on the tee before you play.

Feb 05 2010 Posted in Euro, GoKart News by GoKartDon’t worry, your computer isn’t broken; there really is no colour in our latest colour scheme (apart from a wee green dot in our logo either side of the frame). When customers order, we’re often asked can I have it all black. So here it is, the GoKart Stealth.
So you think Yoga is boring, eh?
Feb 04 2010 Posted in Euro, Yoga for Golf, YouTube by GoKartAs a bit of a preview to the imminent ‘Yoga for Golf’ lessons (you have remembered to iron your leotard haven’t you?) take a look at this little video (By the way, did you realise that laughing is wonderful for your stomach muscles?)

Feb 01 2010 Posted in Euro, Geoff Waterhouse, Golf News by GoKartDon’t know about your course, but our local, Canterbury, have said no to karts until further notice. Which makes this one from Mr Waterhouse rather topical (as opposed to tropical, which is only in our dreams).
