Who is Roger Sali and how is he popularizing golf?
A native of Uganda, Sali works as a caddie at a local golf resort by the name of Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa. While he had no experience playing the sport, Sali quickly fell in love with the game.
He decided to showcase his skills and spread the word about golf through the power of the internet. His trick-shot videos went viral, and so did his followers. The PGA Tour on the other side of the Atlantic soon took notice, inviting Sali to feature in their video.
‘Sali’s Story: Growing the Game in the Pearl of Africa’ is video footage of how the Uganda native is helping to grow the sport in his homeland, in association with the PGA Tour. Watch the full trailer here.
