AWSUM gesels met Retief Goosen oor sy skooljare

Retief Goosen (The Goose), oud HTS Tom Naudé - leerder en wenner van twee

skooljare in Polokwane. Behalwe vir sy 36 oorwinnigs as professionele

die World Golf Hall of Fame in 2019.

Ons moet begin deur te vra oor jou skoolloopbaan. Wat sal jy

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

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.

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.

Gene Louw Athletics meeting

Riley Loynes (Grade 5) is part of the Curro Durbanville Athletics team, u.11 age group. She is a short-distance runner, but last year took on the 1200m at the Curro Cup and came first with ease. This year her two events will be 100m and 1200m.

Riley represented Curro Durbanville at the Gene Louw Athletics meeting on 25 January. Riley placed 5th in the 100m with strong competition. She did incredibly well in the 1200m event, taking the lead and setting the pace for the race from the first lap. On the last lap, she picked up the pace and crossed the finishing line in first place with a confident 100m lead. 1200m is by far her favourite event now.

This article was written by a human, and not by ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that came out November 2022 that provides quick, well-formulated answers to a variety of questions and is going to revolutionize the way we do things and the way we communicate. This powerful tool answers questions in a conversational style. You type your question, and it types back…within seconds, no matter the question. Since its launch, the bot has amassed more than a million subscribers and more than 100 million monthly active users.

Did you know CatchGPT can give you product recommendations? Prompt it with something like “I’m looking for a new pair of running shoes. Do you have any product recommendations?” and it will give you a list of some of the best options out there. It’ll even tell you about the differences between them, so you can make an informed decision. So, no need for endless scrolling in comparison shopping.

ChatGPT can help you in the kitchen with recipe suggestions

Prompt it with something like “I have some leftover chicken and a can of black beans. Can you suggest a recipe and instructions to make?” and it will give you a list of ingredients and instructions to cook up something delicious.

You can even ask ChatGPT to tell you a joke and it will send you a joke!

ChatGPT can act as your own personal career coach. Prompt it with something like “act as an interviewer and ask me about my strengths” and it will start asking you questions as if you were being interviewed in real life. You can even ask it to help you improve your answers, so you can feel more confident and prepared for your next interview.

ChatGPT can help you improve your confidence in social situations. Prompt it with something like “I’m looking for a conversation starter. Do you have any suggestions?” and it’ll give you some examples to get a conversation going.

ChatGPT’s language translation feature is also very impressive. Type in something like “translate this sentence to French” and it will give you the French equivalent. So, whether you’re trying to communicate with someone who speaks a different language or you are a business looking to expand your reach by creating content in multiple languages, ChatGPT’s got you covered.

ChatGPT can also recommend all sorts of entertainment based on your preferences. If you’re into historical fiction books, just ask it to recommend something for you. It’ll give you a list of options and it’s not just limited to books. You can also use it to discover new movies, music and more - a great way to find new enjoyable entertainment options.

With Chat GPT rising in popularity, what’s a parent to do?

There is no stopping the impact AI technology will have going forward, and Chat GPT is likely just the start of this era in education. Have an open conversation with your children and guide them through this transition so that they are aware of the risks and benefits of the technology. Explore the platform with them and work with their curiosity. Encourage your kids to use Chat GPT alongside an adults to get ideas about things they’re interested in, like music. Families can explore the tool together and try prompts that are fun, inspiring or helpful.

Unleashing the Power of ChatGPT in Education

The topic of AI tools and how they impact education is incredibly important and we have to ask what are some of the possible impacts of AI tools like Chat GPT on teachers and students?

How do I prevent cheating and plagiarism when tools like this exist?

How do I talk to my learners about Chat GPT?

What are the pro’s and con’s?

Can we stop it being used by learners?

Should we even try and stop it?

If not, how will it likely change teaching methods and approaches?

Can it actually be harnessed for good?

Some pro’s include:

ChatGPT is like having a personal tutor right at your fingertips. It can help with homework and explain difficult concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. For example let’s say you’re struggling to understand the concept of momentum, just ask ChatGPT to explain it to you like you’re five years old and it’ll give you a simple explanation that even a child could understand and if you have any follow-up questions it can help with those too this is such a great way to get a little extra help and support with schoolwork and it makes learning more interactive and engaging.

With bullying in schools, ChatGPT can also be an amazing resource for anyone’s troubling with anxiety stress or any other mental health issues for example you could type in “feeling really anxious and overwhelmed” and it will give you some tips for managing anxiety if you’re in need of some guidance or just want talk to someone chat GPT could be a convenient way to get support anonymously.

Valentine’s day must’ve been good, because this team bowled their opponents out for only 18 runs. Top bowling from Adrian Markgraaf taking 4 wickets and Camron Seale taking 2 wickets. The Settlers High School won by a massive 112 runs!! Although there were many outstanding performances Adrian Markgraaf was chosen as Man of the Match.
