Michael’s successful maiden voyage…

Feb 17 2009 Posted in Customer comment, Euro, GoKart News by GoKart

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.

From our customers

During the last few weeks my GoKart has been getting dirty! Please can you send some cleaning instructions to my wife. Barrie J.
The product and service is brilliant - and so quick! At last I have found something that is faster than my backswing. Andy P.
If I buy a second wonderful GoKart does this count as a breeder? Alison S.
What a super ASS (after sales service) you have. You should give lessons to all the other ASSES out there. Les E.
My wife's just bought me a Go Kart. Can we start breeding please? John S.
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.
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.
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.
How you found us: Seen at golf club. Looked nice. My trolley broke. 2+2=4. Peter G.
If not home, please leave with any of my neighbours - I trust them all. Valerie P.
Taken delivery of my Go-Kart it's fantastic...I bet the Stig has one of these - it's the nuts! Danny F.
Excellent delivery service. One complaint, there is an insufficient amount of bubble wrap supplied for those who like me, enjoy popping the bubbles. Anthony F.
Great product that not only looks great but does it’s designed job…and then some. superdupergreatbrillawesome. Dereck B.
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.
I foolishly engaged ‘drive’ and was quite literally dragged up the hill by your trolley. It is truly impressive. Dereck B.
If everything in Britain worked like this product we'd still have our empire. Brian J.
Being a woman I must say size doesn't matter but sense of humour does so I was won over by your very amusing website. Donna B.
I would love to write to say what a fabulous difference my GoKart has made to my golf but unfortunately I can't! Keith B.
I got some very admiring glances on my first trip out with the trolley, the trolley got some as well. Kevin R
I never get bored of setting my trolley up a good 2 minutes faster than my mates. Pete
I would like a brolly and brolly holder. I like you guys. Doug H.
The Weather in Aberdeen has been cold and snowy, however be assured that in no way do I hold you responsible for this. Mike R.
I use it 4 times a week currently & at present would describe it overall as an acme wondertool! Clive P.
The spec looks great, the colours vibrate, Sleek looks, so different, make this the prize. I just can’t wait. Geoffrey T.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the GoKart, and also you as a company. In fact, I don't think I'll ever get a different cart. Mark H.
Having had four electric trolleys in the past, this one seems to be by far the best. Brian T.
At last! A product that does exactly what was promised. PWB
I am very glad to say that my Gokart trolley has been the single best golfing purchase I have ever made. Marc B.
Your company is a real breath of fresh air. Thank you. Susan H.
Using your GO Kart my wife has just thrashed me 8 & 7 on her course. R.W.
If you're in hurry to get to the 19th, nothing will catch you. Raymond J.
Fantastic, Fantastic, Fantastic. Derek M.
The product is absolutely superb; a real design masterpiece. Ian B.
Great company with a great product. Andy 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.
These trolleys are the biz. I have had three or four other trolleys but nothing compares. Keep up the good work. Tony McC.
The balls drop out of the ball holders too easily. Kevin R
This trolley has rekindled my love for the game, or is it just I am in love with my trolley! Danny F.
Many congratulations on producing what must surely be the best golf trolley manufactured and available in the European market. Long may you continue. Frank W.
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.
As a golfer living in Northern Ireland responding to your advert in Golf Punk, I was delighted to be treated as if I was just down the road. Billy B.
Unfortunately, my handicap has not yet dropped - when can I expect this to happen? Jenny S.
From the moment it was ordered I have not failed to be impressed with the kart. Chris P.
Nothing that I have seen matches it's performance for the price. Dave K.
I WRITE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR INVENTING THE GOKART Albert P.
I have to say it is the best thing I have never purchased in my life, even better than the wife. Brian MacL. (he won his GoKart in a comp)
Love the friendly approach they have to customer relations, its almost like talking to my favourite aunty. Brian MacL again.
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.
All in all, its a great product which is made and sold by a friendly and helpful team who clearly love their golf trolley! Andrew H.
The trolley is a style icon and ranks up there with the Dyson vacuum cleaner. Martin J.
It is a very comfortable trolley to use and stays upright in a gale. Mrs M S
A guy I play with regularly, uses a pull along and I’m up and ready in the same time as him. Mike B.
First time out with my gokart yesterday very disappointed, thought it would take at least 10 shots off my round. Steve P.
Even the courier was friendly with a smile on his face! Trolley was out the box and ready for use within ten minutes of delivery. If only everything in this life was so easy!! Steve B.
So easy to set up my budgie could do it and he died 15 yrs ago. Simon O.
Some advice - should I use my trolley, or continue to have it as a striking centre piece in my living room? Kay C.
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.
Thanks for inventing something so cool, and amazing. Golf will never be the same again. Danny F.
Love the trolley - don't know about weasels but it made our rabbit sit up and take notice. Richard D.

The rain soaked my fellow hackers but I was kept dry as I poured my hot beverage. Steve M.
Used my GoKart for the first time today and I have to say it was fantastic. Nothing could have been any better. 11 out of 10. Trevor M.
Ordered 16.10 on Wednesday, received 17.05 Thursday, on tee 07.30 Friday, envied 07.31 -Impressive!!! Charles S.
Can't recall if this is my 3rd or 4th year with my GoKart. Never let me down. Outstanding product. Tony F.
Set up and ready to go and so excited about playing golf tomorrow (mustn't forget my clubs) that I probably won't sleep tonight. Wendy B.
