We are proud to announce a new (and our first) partnership.
We're teaming up with Wunderpar - the golf app that rewards you for playing golf.
We started The Goat Track podcast in March 2023 to unearth golf and golf-adjacent stories relevant to a South African audience.
Around the same time, we noticed some kiff stuff on Instagram that got our attention.
A golf app, founded in Cape Town, was offering rewards just for playing golf. Like literally for just being on the golf course.
That seemed pretty rad, so we invited founder Geran on the podcast for a chat.
Episode 8: Wunderpar was our first guest interview.
So how does it work?
"Wunderpar’s “play-to-earn” model, facilitated by blockchain technology, provides real-world rewards to users for their participation and achievements in the game of golf.
This innovative approach not only enhances user engagement but also allows golfers to redeem their earned Wunderpar tokens for golf-related products and experiences in the app’s marketplace."
Simplified - you rock up at the first tee, switch on the app, select your course and start earning Wunder tokens.
Thats it.
The app tracks your location (checking you're on the course and not in the pub) throughout the round and you earn tokens for each minute of play (up to a max of 2 hours).
Wunder tokens can be exchanged for a variety of items on the Wunderpar Store including:
Discount vouchers from leading retailers
Entry into random raffles (gear, clubs, bags etc)
Mystery boxes (right now sponsored by Callaway)
Cash vouchers for use in the Wunderpar Store.
Wunderpar recently activated a Course Boost option.
A business or individual can purchase a Boost for an entire course - anyone who Wunders on this course will receive either 1.5X or 2X the amount of Wunder (depending on the membership purchased).
As part of our partnership - we have 1.5X boosted our home courses in KZN - Gowrie Farm and Cotswold Downs.
So anyone who plays these courses - you'll earn 60 Wunder (+-R30) each round.
Well done - you're now a professional golfer :)
We plan on boosting more courses across the country as the Goat Track membership grows.
