Sharing golf with Uganda’s youth | Ep. 2 | PGA TOUR Originals

By



In episode 2 of Sali’s Story: Growing Golf in the Pearl of Africa, Roger spends his lone off day, Tuesday, sharing the game with school children in local communities, whether it’s on a portable putting green or swinging a full club.

This is a four-part series that follows the 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.

    Together, Compassion International and Roger are working to identify children in Compassion programs to introduce golf and grow the reach of Roger’s dream for golf in Uganda communities.

    I can't believe these multimillion dollar companies won't send them some clubs… That's so lame.

    All the views on this video pga y’all can help the man out by donating sum clubs to make it easier. Golf makes to much money as a sport an he’s honestly helping the sport grow in places that nobody would of played.

  27. Evan O'Connor

    The fact that the golf club he works at doesn't sponsor Salis teaching work in local communities by covering travel or donating equipment is laughable.
