Win a dozen GoKart balls
Feb 28 2010 Posted in Customer comment by GoKartWe have a little diversion on our blog, which we’ve called in rather understated style ‘THE BIG VOTE’. We thought maybe someone else might like to set the question this time round, so we’re putting up a dozen of our best ‘hole in one friendly’ balls for the person that suggests the question we like the most.
So, your mission is, should you choose to accept it, suggest what the next big vote is going to be. The format is a question, followed by two or more suggested answers. Best to keep the possible answers to a maximum of around four, otherwise the results get a bit woolly.
To help get you in the mood, here are some of the questions we’ve asked in the past, together with the vote results;
Q. When does the golf season start? A. First day of the US Masters (13%), A. It never ends! (87%)
Q. Links golf is the only real golf… A. True (30%), A. Rubbish (70%)
Q. Which club would you like to blend? A. Driver (27%), A. Putter (73%)
Q. What’s the hardest thing to change about your game? A. Grip (22%) , A. Alignment (28%) , A. Temperament (50%)
Q. Mixed golf? A. Oh yes! (50%) A. If I must, (20%) A. Mixed gruesomes?, You must be joking (30%)
Q. Winter golf? A. I play all year, whatever the weather (54%), A. I play all year, unless it’s nasty (42%), A. I only play when the sun has got his hat on, hip hip hip hooray (4%)
To enter, just post your suggestion in the comments below. The one we use first gets the balls.

c) They should banned since they remove the purity of the sport and negate the need to work distance out the traditional way.
