Still time for a sneaky bet!
Aug 12 2010 Posted in Golf News by GoKartWell 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 by GoKart
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…)

A rather strange lady from Chester
Claimed her GoKart had possessed her
Her friend even said
It was banned from her bed
Because it had tried to molest her
An Indian golfer named Gandhi
With a wedge was remarkably handy
He could chip the ball in
With incredible spin
But struggled in areas sandy (more…)
Vousden behind the ropes at St. Andrews. Gloves off.

Most of the stuff people worry about isn’t going to happen anyway
Random reflections on the Open
Perfection is boring. Louis Oosthuizen’s win was as deserved as it was unexpected but in truth his play over the final round was so precise and controlled that the event was filleted of all elements of drama. Monty made the observation that with Sunday pin placements at St Andrews being as uncompromising as they are, no-one could make a run at the leader and he was right.
Also, it was confirmed yet again that St Andrews is a terrible venue for spectators – they can pretty much only get to the right-hand side of holes and there aren’t many changes of elevation, so you invariably find yourself looking over the heads of people packed three, four or more deep.
During the practice rounds there were a couple of places where, thanks to the armband that got me inside the ropes, I could stand directly behind the advertising hoardings at the rear of the tee (always the best place to get an idea of how well someone is swinging). It was noticeable that Asian and American players, as they walk onto the tee, acknowledge whoever happens to be present, such as journalists and marshals. Europeans usually don’t. (more…)
