\u201cEK het vir geen oomblik gedink ek sal die vroueafdeling van die Kalahari-gholfuitdaging wen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het op die veld gegaan met die idee om die toernooi te geniet en ek het geen spanning op myself geplaas nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 vertel Maggie van Jaarsveldt van Kuruman wat in Maart aan die Kalahari-gholfuitdaging, wat jaarliks by die Sishen-gholfklub in Kathu aangebied word, deelgeneem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het in 2008 begin gholf speel omdat haar man, Eddie, en haar seuns, Adriaan en Charl, al donkiejare speel en sy elke naweek by die huis moes bly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het myself jammer gekry om elke naweek by die huis te sit en toe besluit ek \u2018if you can\u2019t beat them, join them\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het so in my enigheid gedink as ek begin gholf speel, gaan dit die vinnigste manier wees vir Eddie om op te hou. Min het ek geweet dat as die gholfgogga jou eers gebyt het, niks jou kan keer om te speel nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vertel voorts dat sy nou die een in die huisgesin is wat nie genoeg van gholfspeel kan kry nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n goeie manier om van spanning ontslae te raak. Dit maak nie saak hoe sleg \u2019n mens speel nie, maar daardie een goeie hou of sethou verander die slegte dag in \u2019n heerlike dag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Maggie vergeet \u2019n mens van alles wat jou pla en jy konsentreer net op daardie klein wit balletjie wat jy moet raak- en vorentoe slaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2014 het sy \u2019n goeie gholfjaar beleef deurdat sy die Order of Merit vir vroue gewen het en ook was dit die tweede jaar agtereenvolgens dat sy die vrouewenner vir die Optimum Sundowner was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het nie gewen omdat ek goeie gholf gespeel het nie, maar ek het gereeld gespeel en my punte sodoende opgebou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGeleidelik het ek my puntestand verbeter en my voorgee het verminder X ek is nou op \u2019n 17-voorgee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nie net speel Maggie gholf nie, maar sy is ook \u2019n leesfanatikus. Sy lees alles wat sy in die hande kan kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs ek twee dae nie lees nie, kry ek onttrekkingsimptome. Naas lees, is gholf my ander passie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy doen ook naaldwerk en is baie lief vir hekel en brei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het onlangs vir haar kleindogter, Nicka (4), \u2019n dubbelbedkombers gehekel en nou is sy besig om vir haar en Eddie ook \u2019n dubbelbedkombers te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is ook lief vir dans. Dit is waar ek en Eddie ontmoet het, op \u2019n dansbaan. Ons doen dit egter so min deesdae.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maggie het in Kathu grootgeword en aan die Laerskool Kathu skoolgegaan en aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Kathu haar skoolloopbaan voltooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het twee susters en vier broers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00e1 skool het sy privaat sekretarie\u00ebl by die Technikon in Bloemfontein gestudeer. Sy werk vir die Kumba Sishen Ore-myn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maggie en Eddie het drie kinders X twee seuns en \u2019n dogter (Lize). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar jongste seun, Charl, is ook \u2019n kranige krieketspeler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Maggie en haar man is dit belangrik om tyd saam met hul gesin deur te bring en dit is vir hulle \u2019n voorreg om saam met al hul kinders te kan gholf speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNicka sal beslis eendag saam met ons speel, want sy is altyd saam met ons op die gholfbaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vertel dat sy droom daarvan om gesond te wees en dat sy en Eddie nog lank gespaar sal bly om vir hul kinders en kleinkinders daar te kan wees om dinge saam te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kan nie beskryf hoe dit voel om \u2019n ouma te wees nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOumas gaan soos mal goed te kere, maar \u2019n mens kan jouself nie help nie. Di\u00e9 gogga is erger as die gholfgogga wat jou byt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maggie vertel dat dit so lekker is om Nicka se klein lyfie vas te hou en om te weet dit is nog \u2019n geslag wat op die aarde loop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicka is baie lewendig en hou haar oupa en ouma aan die gang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Ouma is \u2019n klein bietjie van \u2019n ma, \u2019n bietjie van \u2019n juffrou, \u2019n bietjie van \u2019n beste vriendin en \u2019n engel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will neither grow up nor grow old, but I will just age gracefully with a smile,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk wil elke dag voluit lewe en ek weier om te stres oor goed of situasies waaraan ek niks kan doen nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten laaste voeg sy ook by dat hulle nie meer hul kinders kan veilig hou nie, maar dat hulle weet God pas hulle op<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
