The wrong balls
May 30 2010 Posted in Golf NewsBP has just announced their latest attempt to stop the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico has failed. They were trying to block it with, among other things, golf balls. We’ve an idea why there’s still a leak; they must have been using cheap two-piece balls. If they’d used good quality synthetic balata covered balls it would have stopped. Just a thought.
Is it art?

Putting it in perspective
You have possibly never heard of Erica Blasberg but her memorial service is being held this coming Wednesday, May 19, and will no doubt be attended by a number of LPGA golfers, for Erica was a member of that Tour since 2004. This was her sixth season as a pro golfer but she only managed one victory, and that was on the Duramed Futures Tour. Because of her outstanding amateur record, great things were expected of a young woman (she died aged 25) who was both admired for her ability to play golf, and liked for her courtesy, charm and thoughtfulness, although some have suggested she could be introspective and difficult to truly get to know.
The cause of her death is still uncertain but her tragedy is made all the more heart-breaking because there is at least a likelihood that she took her own life, possibly because the promise suggested by her outstanding amateur record was never realised in the pro game. (more…)

May 17 2010 Posted in GoKart NewsYes, you might just want to shout at us in a couple of hours, but we’ll risk it…we dare you to come along and try the GoKart Summer Puzzle. You stand a chance of winning a GoKart (or the equivalent in goodies if you already have one) – but we also promise you a brain fizzing journey of epic mental proportions. Some of it is logic, some of it general knowledge – but all of it is downright devious.

Is it possible to be totally partial?
Rory McIlroy
For a pro golfer to shoot 62 over one of the toughest courses on the US Tour would always be worthy of celebration. But to do it in the final round, for a most improbable victory – in fact your debut win in America, at the age of 20 – is almost too much to take in. So it is right and fitting that Rory McIlroy should probably wake up tomorrow morning with an almighty hangover because today (May 4th) is his 21st birthday, so he can now legally drink in the USA.

Politics and Golf. They don’t mix.
May 07 2010 Posted in Golf Quotes“The Englishman is at his best on the links and at his worst in the Cabinet”. (George Bernard Shaw)
” Men trifle with their business and their politics but never trifle with their games. It brings truth home to them. They cannot pretend they have won when they have lost nor that they had a magnificent drive when they foozled it”. (Also GBS)
“Gordon; you foozled it”. (GoKart)
A new way to vote
May 05 2010 Posted in Golf News, Martin VousdenGolfers at Hoebridge Golf Centre in Woking have been having fun during the general election by firing their golf balls at caricatures of the three main party leaders – Nick Clegg, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. If only they could persuade the three men themselves to stand there.
