The Goat Track
A podcast about golf and golf-adjacent stuff, mostly from Africa. The Goat Track is hosted by four average golfers who share their thoughts on golf courses, tours, halfway houses, apparel and - occasionally - pro golf. We also feature special guests and interview various characters from all corners of the golfing landscape.

TBag, JDV, and special guest Swannie take a deep dive through the recently published SA Top 100 Course list. We draw on a few golf (and golf-adjacent) memories from many of the tracks we've visited. A few courses take some shrapnel from the boys and we plot our first trip to the Kalahari Country Club (aka Sishen). Swannie also swings us a tale or two from his days on the Amateur golf scene.
