GoKart on form and making the cut!

May 28 2011

For all our GoKart owners in Belgium – if you’re out and about and wanting to watch a bit of golf this weekend we have a GoKart in action at Royal Waterloo.  Benn Barham is poised ready for the fourth round of the Challenge Tour Telenet Trophy, with battery charged and ready!  The golf course is on the actual site of the historic battle.

So Benn, take no prisoners! We’re right behind you!!!    Chaaaaaaaaarge!!!!!

Thought for the Day
All general statements are false

Stats, damned stats and the truth
If you are of a particularly nerdy bent, like to wear an anorak in bed and overhear conversations in which people use the word ‘pedant’ a lot, you are probably one of those people who is absolutely delighted that it is possible to get pro golf statistics on just about everything. On the US Tour, for example, apart from the regular categories of driving distance and accuracy, sand saves and the like, there are also headings for proximity to the hole, scrambling and a brand new one called ‘strokes gained – putting.’ And no, I’m not going to explain that one for two reasons; first, life is too short and second, I have no idea what it is.

Take a look at the World long Drive Champion, Joe Miller. We saw him in action at Golf Live yesterday and filmed one of his shots.  Just before this he hit a seven iron 275  yards. With his driver he can reach 470. Phenomenal.

Our drives at Canterbury this afternoon felt just a little bit insignificant.
