Ryder Cup boo-boo
Aug 30 2010 Posted in Golf NewsCasey should be playing. Total madness; world Number 8 and not in our squad. If we lose by a slim margin we will personally hold Monty to blame for a thoroughly bad decision. And if we win we would have won by a mile with Casey on board. We don’t often get cross about stuff but this is just plain annoying.

Do we have a fight on our hands, Mr Vousden? Discuss.

It’s not an optical illusion. It just looks like one
A week is a long time…
Supposedly in politics, at least – but the same could also be said of golf. Virtually all season whenever I have thought about the Ryder Cup, and I try not to do that too much until the event is almost upon us, it has been with a quiet, almost smug sense of confidence that Europe is going to bring Samuel Ryder’s small but perfectly formed trophy back where it belongs. We have, after all, 49 of the world’s top-50 players – or so it seems – and Europeans have won seven times on the US Tour this year (including Majors, and Justin Rose’s two victories). It is necessary to remind ourselves, perhaps, that a British or European winner in America, until comparatively recently, was as rare as Monty congratulating an on-course photographer for a job well done.

Hatchet Harry? Come through
Aug 26 2010 Posted in GoKart NewsWe met up with a GoKart owner recently who you may recognise. P H Moriarty, he played Hatchet Harry in Guy Richie’s classic gangster movie ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’. And was as nice as pie. Absolutely didn’t threaten to beat us to a pulp at all. And if he did, would we tell?

An ode to Goose Poo.
Aug 26 2010 Posted in Geoff Waterhouse, GoKart NewsOfficially announcing the winner of our highly acclaimed and prestigious GoKart Limerick Competition.
Thank you to everyone who entered, the committee had a tough job deciding, but eventually plumped for Dave Marriage’s graphic description of the fairways at his local. Dave will receive the original drawing in celebration of his literary genius.

USPGA brings us two winners (apart from Kaymer)
Aug 26 2010 Posted in GoKart News, Golf NewsThe last major of the year brought two GoKart winners – Carsten O. from Germany (neat result!) who predicted Kaymer’s score perfectly, and in a play off for the second GoKart, Stephen L from Whitley Bay, narrowly beating Steve Tusz and Ged Coffey.

Your Message:: I could not take it any more…Joyce wore me
down….”get a gokart… get a gokart. It will half your handicap, it
folds down into a tupperware box, it will make all your dreams come
true”…all rather hard to believe. But now that I have visited your
website I love the product, and I love your sense of humour. Even if I
don’t improve my game I feel I have made a new friend…someone I can
call and talk to about my round…thank you for promising such excellent
service. Thanks for having such a straightforward, no nonsense
website… I have a good feeling about this relationship. I think we
are going to go the distance. I will have a farewell game with my
p**ak***y trolley tomorrow and look forward to welcoming my little
red devil gokart.
Best Regards

The truth is out there…
Aug 14 2010 Posted in Golf NewsWe know this isn’t strictly about golf (although the rough at our track is ripe for the odd alien fiddle), we thought you might still be interested in the definitive explanation for all those funny shaped flattened bits in your local corn field…


Still time for a sneaky bet!
Aug 12 2010 Posted in Golf NewsWell they should have teed off by now, in which case we’d be shouting “stop the betting!”, but the start has been delayed by fog. So until the first ball is struck, get on in there and have a go in the USPGA comp here

Win a GoKart in the final major of 2010.
Aug 08 2010 Posted in GoKart News, Golf News
Where did the Season go? Here we are at the last major. Not to worry, we have ages to go before the weather gets grotty and the evenings too short.
So, you know the form, predict the winner of the 2010 USPGA and, for a tie breaker, the winning score. We’ll give GoKarts to the first two correct entries out of the hat after play finishes on Sunday (there’s a rollover from the British when nobody guessed the winner, hence the extra prize!). (more…)
