The Goat Track

In Episode 81, we dive into the Stingers rebrand. Did they workshop the new name? T has some concerns with that and the exact same roster returning, we ask the uncomfortable question: Is this franchise evolving, or is it stuck as an "Old Boys Club" that prioritizes vibes over victory?

The concern doesn't stop there. We also tackle the news of Stellenbosch Golf Club hosting the SA Open. It’s a nice venue, sure—but is it actually the right test for a modern National Open with a Masters berth on the line? We discuss whether the course has the teeth for today's pros or if this is another "safe" choice that misses the mark?

Lastly we draft teams of SA Players from different categories and see who can build the 2026 squad. Who can lock down the big guns Burmy and Aldrich?

JDV and TBag take you through their back 9 of their compilation 18 holes for 2025. There are some high quality courses named and not a single one in KZN!

We're back! And we start with a favorite from last year - a compilation of our best 18 holes played in 2025. This time JDV and TBag alternate holes and there are some bangers amongst them. This episode covers the front 9 and includes holes from Zimablai Lakes, The Links, Durban Country Club and a host of others.

Tucky and Hoff are back giving people the opinions no one asked for! Wandering off the beaten path again and unpacking the Springboks’ end-of-year tour; the good, the bad, and will Sasha become the GOAT. They check in on the upcoming Rugby World Cup draw and how things might shake-out. They also can’t ignore the Sharks, who are currently in such grim form it doesn't feel like it could get worse...

It’s rugby chat with just enough chaos to keep you honest. Tune in.

TBag and JDV go deep on the best par-3s in KZN, comparing notes from some of the province’s most iconic tracks. From the coastal beauty of Southbroom, Wild Coast, Durban, Umkho and Princes Grant, to the inland standouts at Gowrie, Champagne Sports, and Cotswold Downs, they unpack what elevates a par-3 from “good” to unforgettable. Along the way, they chat about why KZN seems to produce these holes in abundance—hint: the landscape does a lot of the heavy lifting—and reveal their final, no-debate-allowed top 5. A fun, local episode celebrating the province’s finest one-shotters.
