  • Sali's Story: Growing Golf in the Pearl of Africa is a four-part series that follows Roger Sali, a 27-year-old Ugandan, and the incredible work he's doing in his home country to grow the game of golf. The sport has changed Roger's life and he believes that it can also change the lives of many others in Uganda with the proper exposure and access to the equipment needed to play.
    Roger started caddying a few years ago when his father passed away and he needed to support his family. He fell in love with golf and quickly became a low-handicap player. On his one day off every week, using his own resources, he goes into local schools and communities and teaches kids the game. Roger’s personal goal is to continue to grow and learn as a teacher and become better equipped to teach kids.

    Now this is what golf is about. A refreshing change from the expensive, water thirsty and excessively manicured exclusive courses we see all the time. I've always believed that golf should be one of the most accessible sports, all you need is a net setup like theirs to learn a swing and some space to hit a ball.
