The Goat Track

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.

We're golf adjacent this week! Tucky and Hoff are back on The Goat Track as they break down the Springboks’ end-of-year tour. They unpack what’s to come for Rassie and his men, and what it all means heading into 2026. Then it’s over to the Sharks: what is happening?? The guys debate who could step in and what direction the franchise really needs to take. Expect a few honest takes, a couple of digs, and more than one bold prediction. To wrap it up, the lads get personal with their own rugby highlights from years gone by.

We finally get another course review as JDV and T do a deep dive on the newest 18-hole course in South Africa -  Zimbali Lakes. They chat about the Ernie Els involvement, the cost and their favorite holes. JDV tackles the handicap rating issue and T speculates where this course will land in the SA Top 100 rankings.

Much like the famed documentary, this episode explores alot and not much. In My October Teacher, we dive into the strange lessons of October -  from Hoff’s tales of questionable golf lessons to Ryder Cup takeaways, South Africa’s success at the World Amateur Team Champs, and the KZN Sunshine Tour swing. We also check in on our own golf goals (some thriving, others begging for a mulligan) and wrap up the 2025 Major Goat comp. And because we love a good idea almost as much as a bad one, we announce our first-ever Goat Track event: The Mashters — a 9-hole social gathering in KZN.
