Retief Goosen

Retief Goosen's PGA touring has taken him to quite a few exciting destinations. Gotravel24.com catches up with one of SA's most talented golfers. 

GoTravel24.com: As a popular South African sports personality, does it bother you being recognised while on holiday?
Retief Goosen: "It doesn't bother me and you do find that most of the time the public only sees you on TV with your hat on. Once this is removed, not everybody recognises you."

When on holiday is a golf course optional or an absolute must?
"Definitely optional, if I'm on holiday so are my golf clubs."

Are you a bush baby, eco adventurer, extreme thrill-seeker, beach bandit, or five-star freak?
"I'm a bit of a thrill-seeker, but with my profession it wouldn't be too wise to be too extreme!"

Local is lekker when you find yourself in...
"Sitting around the fire, having a braai with family and friends."

My favourite hangout in the global village is...
"I always love coming home to South Africa and spending time at my home in Zebula."

Your travel nightmare would have to be...
"Delayed flights are always a nightmare. I do a lot of travelling, so spending extra time in an airport is something I could do without."

Your dream getaway would see you...
"Back home to South Africa. I really love our country and I always love coming back home to get away from it all."

Travelling in style is...
"It is always a great pleasure travelling privately with my family to any destination."

Are you a walking holiday itinerary or a spontaneous relaxation rebel?
"Definitely a Relaxation Rebel, our holidays are all about relaxation and having fun."

Have you had or made any mile-high club propositions?
"No comment."

Your ideal travel companion is... "
"My wife Tracy and our children Leo and Ella."

You never travel without your...
"My passport and my Rolex watch."

Tip to make and not break the holiday...
"Plenty of rest & relaxation."

What keeps you coming back for more…
"I'd have to say the people."
