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.

We've made it to 10 episodes!
Having said that - very little golf is discussed today!
Karl and Terrence are joined by rugby twitter-ranter Jerome who gives some measured thoughts on tier 2 nations, the rise of Fiji and the Boks. We also do a deep dive on the controversial new rugby laws which seem well-intended, but are they damaging the physical brand of the game?
