Episode 66: A US Open 2025 Preview
This week on The Goat Track, we’re all in on the U.S. Open—and Oakmont is the perfect villain. We dig into the course’s storied, punishing history and take a fascinating detour into the origins of the stimpmeter (spoiler: it all started right here). We also revisit Ernie Els’ gritty 1994 win, touching on the drama that nearly derailed it.
We get our picks locked in, a fresh update on the Major GOAT leaderboard, and discuss a new wrinkle added to Wunderpar. Plus, we stir the pot in our Goat Track Golfchamps pool and launch some fun “games within the game” for Oakmont week.
If you like your majors fast, firm, and just a little unhinged—this episode’s for you.
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.
