The Goat Track

Cheating in golf is a large topic to take on but JDV, TBag and Tucky do their best to cover the full sphere of cheating debacles in the amateur and professional game. Handicap fluffing, improving lies and lost ball saga's all get some attention.

Golf courses are intermediating arenas for newcomers to the game and this week JDV and Hoff sit down with a relative newbie to golf (and Goat Track listener) Fuad to discuss the general dos and don'ts on the fairways, greens and bunkers.

We look at the history of the original Dunhill Cup played at St Andrews from 1985-2000 and ponder the future of team golf. TBag proposes a cracking idea for an event which has Tucky and JDV fired up.

We catch up on Hoffs preparation for his medal challenge.

This week, we dive into the business of golf, exploring unique investment opportunities within the sport. From public stocks in leading equipment manufacturers and driving range operators to cutting-edge technology companies shaping the future of the game, we cover a range of channels worth considering.

Plus, we explore an intriguing way to invest directly in players themselves. This is just the beginning—stay tuned for a follow-up episode that will go even deeper into the evolving landscape of golf investments.

The lads get together for a session of accountability as they check-in on progress against the golf goals they set for themselves in January. Spoiler alert -  it's not going great!

JDV sits down with our latest addition to The Goat Track, Nick "Tucky" Tatham to unpack more about his sports media past and how he ended up in a radio gig. Tucky talks us through his relationship with golf and answers a few random golf questions.

We travel down the South Coast of KZN to play one of the province's true gems, Umdoni Park Golf Club. In this episode we review the history of Umdoni, highlight some of our favourite holes and generally gush over why we think you should not miss playing this course.

We start the show with a BIG announcement and then Tucky, TBag and JDV get into the nitty-gritty of the Olympics. Was the golf good? How could it be better? Which sports need to go and which drew us in. We cover horse riding, walking and decathlon amongst others. And, of course, Breaking.

It's the event that nobody is asking for but we're here to talk about. The regulars are joined by friend of the show Nick Tatham as they debate whether golf has a place in the Olympics and what the format should be. They also make some picks.

We have a full tee sheet as TBag, JDv and Hoff are joined by former pro Michael Palmer to go through almost every detail of this year's Open Championship and make their picks from various categories for Golfchamps.
