Episode 70: Touching the Sun
We dissect Tucky’s wild, sun-scorched round at Zimbali Lakes — a journey so dramatic it’s now simply known as Touching the Sun. Was it the mid-round wrap? The long-sleeve jersey? Or the fateful choice to forgo a cold beer?
Step by step, swing by swing, we unravel the mystery behind a round that was equal parts inspiring, baffling, and — in moments — heartbreakingly tragic.
It’s a tale every golfer knows: when the dream round starts to smoulder. We unpack how it happens, why it happens, and what to do (or never do) when you find yourself flying too close to the golfing sun.

Episode 68: Grapes & Golf – Boekenhoutskloof, The Open, and the Claret Jug Club
This week we’re joined by Lynton from Boekenhoutskloof, one of South Africa’s most iconic wineries. We trace their journey from humble small-batch beginnings to becoming the powerhouse behind some of the country’s most recognisable wine labels.
Naturally, we mix in some golf — celebrating the South African legends who’ve hoisted the Claret Jug, from Bobby Locke to Gary Player, Ernie Els, and Louis Oosthuizen. It’s a proper blend of grapes and greats.
We also drop details on an exclusive wine special for The Open:
Goat Track members get 20% off Boekenhoutskloof wines from July 7–14 with code TGTopen20. 🍷⛳
A little wine. A little history. A lot of love for The Open
The Goat Track is a podcast for the golf-obsessed - especially those with an eye on Africa. We dive into the game and all its glorious side quests: course reviews, wild tour ideas, clubhouse banter, and an often in-depth look at the ups and downs of our own deeply average games. It’s golf, but not always as you know it.
