The Big Vote. We have a winner.

Mar 21 2010

Well despite his other rather ungentlemanly question involving the subject of women playing golf versus ironing, Vin (I’m not really a male chauvinist) Hollyoake wins our competition to select the next Big Vote question.  You’ll see it on the left <

We had some crackers. Amongst the honourable mentions were Iwan Jones (which isn’t really surprising as he sent in about a dozen entries.  Does that man never sleep?) with his rather random -
Q.How many steps does your house have up to the first floor? (more…)

A customer sent us this photo of the view from his home in Malaysia. We think it’s rather cruel really, what with the winter we’ve had. Not to worry, the clocks change next weekend and there’ll soon be time for a nippy nine after work…
With thanks to Tony K. We can have our suitcases packed very quickly you know.

Banana holder. Available now

Mar 14 2010

“Who said that it wasn’t worth bothering with an umbrella holder? I’ve never regretted ordering one for my GOKART trolley. Great for holding a banana, especially when part eaten when called to the tee. I also stick my club head cover in the space (not with a banana) whilst taking my next shot.”

Win a dozen GoKart balls

Feb 28 2010

We 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.

GoKart enters the space race

Feb 20 2010

Eight year old Isabel T’s spaceship; a fine bit of recycling we think.  Isabel apparently visited the planet Kryton yesterday, saving the planet.  Sell any GoKarts, Isabel?

Who says you can’t pull with a GoKart?

Jan 20 2010

“I played a very well known golf course in Scotland this week for the second time with my golfing buddy.  I was in the pro-shop paying the fees when a lady member said, “You’re back!  Have you brought your sexy friend with you again?”. “Er yes” I replied, “he’s just outside”.

I mentioned this on the first tee to my buddy and he was totally embarassed and wondering who would say such a thing. Needless to say, this was the heart of conversation throughout the round, which I (unusually) won by six shots. When we arrived at the 19th it was clear that the lady was actually talking about my new “green electric buddy” and not my golf buddy!

Now he wants to get back to the course again to beat me with a clear head!
Lovin’ it…………..”
