AWSUM gesels met Retief Goosen oor sy skooljare

Retief Goosen (The Goose), oud HTS Tom Naudé - leerder en wenner van twee Amerikaanse Ope Gholftoernooie, praat oor sy skooljare in Polokwane. Behalwe vir sy 36 oorwinnigs as professionele gholfer en sy sewe PGA Toer - oorwinnings, haal Retief ook die World Golf Hall of Fame in 2019.

Ons moet begin deur te vra oor jou skoolloopbaan. Wat sal jy altyd van jou skool onthou?

Wat ek onthou, is dat die onderwysers by my skool streng was. As jy stout was die klas, het jy pakslae gekry. Daar was `n paar onderwysers wat gholf gespeel het en ek het saam met hulle gespeel, maar ek het nog steeds deugeloop as ek stout was.

Aan watter sport het jy op skool deelgeneem?

Vir my was dit net gholf elke dag. Op laerskool het ek wel rugby gespeel. Ek was binne senter, maar het van 12 jaar oud op gholf begin fokus deur gholfboeke wat in die huis was, te lees - onder andere boeke van Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus en Gary Player. Daai dae was daar nie videos nie, so ek moes in `n spiëel oefen alles wat ek in die boeke geleer het.

Watter tipe ou was jy op skool?

Ek was maar `n stil ou op skool en my eie ding gedoen. Ek was `n prefek in my laaste jaar, so dit was lekker om stoute ouens by onderwysers aan te kla.

Vertel ons meer oor jou grootwordjare in Polokwane.

Polokwane was maar klein tydens my grootwordjare. Ek kon met my fiets orals heen ry.

Ons het naby genoeg aan Polokwane Gholfklub gebly dat ek met my gholfstokke en sak op my fiets kon ry en vinnig nege gate na skool kon speel.

Wat is die beste raad wat jy al ooit ontvang het en wat jy vandag met ons lesers wil deel?

Niks kom verniet nie. Jy moet hard werk.

As jy nie `n gholfspeler was nie, watter sport sou jy wou beoefen?

Gholf was alles vir my. As dit nie gewerk het nie, sou ek seker nie `n ander sport beoefen het nie. Tydens `n onderhoud met die Polokwane Review vertel Retief: “Ons het altyd vir ure gholfballe agter in die tuin geslaan en my ma het ons uitgetrap, want ons het haar gras uitgeslaan” onthou Retief.

“Ek het my liefde vir gholf by my pa geleer en dan natuurlik by Francois my broer ook. Ek het vir hom gecaddy,” skerts Retief.

Wat sou jy sê vat dit van `n speler om die hoogste vlak van `n sportsoort te bereik en daar te bly?

“Dissipline en harde werk! My pa het geglo dat as jy iets wil hê, moet jy daarvoor werk en voluit daarvoor gaan. Hy het vir jou die geleentheid gegee, maar jy moes ‘n sukses daarvan maak. My pa se werketiek is iets wat oorgespoel het na my gholf. Met talent en harde werk, kan jy net suksesvol wees en ek is dankbaar daarvoor,” vertel Retief vir die Polokwane Review.

My pa het geglo dat as jy iets wil hê, moet jy daarvoor werk en voluit daarvoor gaan.

In dieselfde berig, berig die Polokwane Review dat oom Theo Goosen, Retief se pa, op 21 Desember 2022 op die ouderdom van 89 oorlede is. Tot die dag van sy dood het Oom Theo gholfraad met Retief gedeel en hy onthou hoe sy pa ‘n paar keer in Amerika en Engeland gaan gholf kyk het. “Sy tydsberekening was nie altyd so goed met die raad nie, en as ek nie goed gespeel het nie, het hy sommer sy vliegtuigkaartjie vervroeg en teruggevlieg.”

Retief Goosen is as 16 - jarige deur weerlig op die golfbaan raakgeslaan toe hy en sy neef Henri `n rondte gholf op `n Woensdagmiddag gespeel het. Toe dit op die vyfde gat begin reën, het hulle gaan skuil onder `n afdak, maar toe die reën opklaar, het hulle verder gaan speel. Dis toe wat hy deur die weerlig geslaan is en 20 minute later in die hosipitaal wakker geword het. Nadat sy neef gaan hulp soek het by die klubhuis het hy `n dokter gekry wat toevallig gholf gespeel het en Retief vertel dié dokter het sy lewe daardie dag gered. Na 3 weke wat hy nie skoene kon aantrek nie as gevolg van sy brandwonde, was hy terug op die gholfbaan en toe het sy golf vlamgevat, want mens besef jy kon dood gewees het.

Destyds het Retief die volgende wenk aan `n jong opkomende gholfer gegee: Hou jou fokus en neem die spel net hou vir hou, Vergeet van die toernooi en vergeet waar jy op die punteleêr lê.

“Wow, it is sad to think that summer sports for term 1 have already come to an end. However, it truly couldn’t have ended on a higher note - The Table View High Derby! It was absolutely awesome to see all our summer sports teams come together and compete in an environment filled with “gees” which ensured we ended off the season on a high! Thank you to all the Elkanah House students that came to support and we hope to can carry this over into our winter season! Overall, reflecting back on the season, we had many special moments as a school and I truly cannot wait to see what is in store for our sports for the rest of 2023.

I hope everyone has a restful holiday and is as motivated and excited as I am for the upcoming winter season!” - Jordan Wright (Head of Sports Prefect)

EDGEMEAD HIGH SCHOOL

Cricket

On the 9th of February our first team cricket side embarked on their second cricket tour of the year playing three cricket games. The first game was against Hopefield High School were we narrowly lost by 18 runs. Second day of tour we played Curro Langebaan. The boys were pumped to try and get their first win. Curro Langebaan won the toss and elected to bat first. Our Bowlers stayed patient and disciplined as we bowled them out for 85 in the first innings. After keeping Curro Langebaan to a underwhelming score, the batsmen were confident in their abilities to chase down their total. An early wicket in the first over added some nerves in the camp but a solid second wicket partnership took the team to a 9-wicket win.

Our final game of the tour was the annual fixture against Vredenburg High School. We won the toss and elected to bat first. The openers took their time and applied themselves which led to a solid partnership between Daniel Haschick and Waseem Fredericks who both ended up scoring fifties on the day. The team scored 255/9 in our fifty overs and our Bowlers once again stayed disciplined and bowled them out for only 42. 4 of those wickets being taken by Ethan Smeda.

On Saturday 18 February we played against Western Province RPC. Edgemead won the toss and elected to bat first. The team lost a quick wicket in the third over, but they continued to push through. A solid knock of 83 from Daniel Haschick helped take the team to a total of 203 after the 50 overs. The opening batsmen of WP RPC really had to make our bowlers work hard but they stayed patient and once we got both openers out the rest of the team crumbled after them with the help of Brandon Less who picked up 5 wickets in his bowling spell. We bowled them out for 106 and won the by 97 runs.

CURRO CENTURY CITY

WYNBERG BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL

BHS Cricket

Wynberg Cricket’s U15A delivered exceptional performances throughout the first term of 2023, remaining consistently in the top three on SA School Sports regularly updated national U15 cricket ranking. While WBHS’s 1st XI didn’t fare as well as their younger ‘brothers in an endless chain’, the U19A finished off the southern suburbs with edge of the seat wins over traditional rivals Rondebosch and Bishops, but with unseasonal rain cancelling the final clash vs SACS.

Inbound tours have returned in force this year with WBHS welcoming teams from the UK along with out-of-town visits from Affies, Grey College, St Stithians, and Grey High – and these all after the successful 1st XI & U15A Peninsula Cricket Festival that set off the season in the week before schools reopened for the 2023 academic year.

Wynberg’s ‘Gig Band’ wins the first Band Slam Competition of the year

WBHS took top honours in the first Band Slam competition of 2023 at St George’s Grammar School on Saturday 11 March.

Water Polo

Water polo at WBHS continues it’s upward trajectory in the U14 & U15 age groups, with great performances by the A & B sides on tours and in the local leagues.

WBHS Takes Gold at the Grey College National Schools Tournament

Our First and Second teams played in the A section of the tournament (26 teams) and our Third and Fourth teams in the B section (34 teams). The quality of Wynberg chess shone through with our A team winning the A section and our B team placing fourth. In the B section, our two teams earned a bronze medal and seventh place respectively. The first team must be commended for only losing 3 points during the entire tournament, compiling 15 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in their 20 games. Kevin Karengera playing at board one was the player of the Tournament winning the Board One prize for his four wins and a draw – all against nationally rated players.
