Anyone play in the rain yesterday?
May 10 2012 Posted in Euro, GoKart News, Golf News by GoKartOn with those waterproofs, we say. What’s a bit of wet? So if you were feeling a bit self-satisfied having ducked and draked it around your local yesterday – just calm that smugness down a bit. GoKart owner Steve Ackling played 90, yes 90 holes in it all. And that’s just the beginning…
Steve is Captain at Charnwood Forest where Harry Flude, a Charnwood member, managed to play 150 holes in 14 hours in 1913. So for Steve’s Captain’s charity this year he’s going to recreate Flude’s blister inducing day. Well with the aid of his trusty GoKart, of course.
According to records; ”Remarkably, Flude’s speed did not impact his scoring with 51 pars and nine birdies recorded with an average of gross 46 for each round of nine holes.”
Steve did send us a photo proving that he was still fit after 90, but strangely he didn’t say anything about his score….
Quick update – we’ve been reliably informed that yesterday Mr. A managed 36 pars and his average score for each 9 was 41 (1 over his h/cap). Not bad, not bad at all…

Feb 05 2010 Posted in Euro, GoKart News by GoKartDon’t worry, your computer isn’t broken; there really is no colour in our latest colour scheme (apart from a wee green dot in our logo either side of the frame). When customers order, we’re often asked can I have it all black. So here it is, the GoKart Stealth.
So you think Yoga is boring, eh?

Feb 01 2010 Posted in Euro, Geoff Waterhouse, Golf News by GoKartDon’t know about your course, but our local, Canterbury, have said no to karts until further notice. Which makes this one from Mr Waterhouse rather topical (as opposed to tropical, which is only in our dreams).
So what’s happening Mr.Vousden? Tell us all…

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance
It’s not how, but how many
In those dim and distant, far off days when we used to be able to play golf, my home course was reduced to 12 holes because of the amount of standing water on the fairways – a situation that has now returned, thanks to the big thaw. When I first set out on one of these three-quarter rounds it was with a sense of vague disappointment, a feeling of umbrage that somehow I was being short-changed or cheated. (more…)
Coming soon, the GoKart Orange
Jan 19 2010 Posted in Euro, GoKart News by GoKartWe thought we’d refresh the colour range with a drop of citrus. Tasty isn’t it! Available early February.
