AFRIYEA GOLF ACADEMY’S FOUNDER ISAIAH MWESIGE TO ATTEND GCMA CONFERENCE 2023 IN LEICESTER

 

Winston Churchill once referred to Uganda as the Pearl of Africa. Similarly, the golf community might use the same accolade for the nation’s native son, Isaiah Mwesige.

Isaiah’s narrative is truly extraordinary. The founder of the AFRIYEA Golf Academy in his hometown of Fort Portal embarked on his golf journey by scouring the bushes of the town’s course for lost golf balls. This humble beginning led to a job as a caddie, where he carried bags for the affluent to earn money for his education and other welfare needs.

However, Isaiah’s connection with the game went beyond mere employment. Despite rising to become a part of the Executive Golf Committee, the 29-year-old chose not to rest on his laurels. Instead, he began working on ways to share his belief in the transformative power of golf, extending beyond recreation.

Isaiah made it his mission to leverage golf as a vehicle for changing the lives of children, addressing not only sporting aspects but also broader issues related to the environment and climate.

His meticulous and generous efforts caught the attention of the R & A, and he was among the delegates at an International Golf Conference in April 2023. Inspired by this experience, Isaiah has spent the last seven months spreading his passion for golf to various schools and communities. He has provided opportunities for hundreds of children from underprivileged communities to play golf, acquire life skills, and learn about environmental conservation through waste management and tree planting.

In a sport often taken for granted in the Western world, Isaiah’s story serves as a timely reminder of the privilege of having access to golf.

Isaiah is scheduled to speak at the Golf Club Managers Association’s National Conference in Leicester from November 12-14. He hopes that sharing his story will inspire attendees to redouble their efforts in sharing the benefits of the game with everyone.

What Isaiah has accomplished at the AFRIYEA Golf Academy is extraordinary, considering the limited resources. His achievements serve as a valuable lesson for all involved in the game, demonstrating the potential impact of passion and dedication.

 

“I am thoroughly delighted to be a part of the GCMA conference 2023, wherein leaders of the golf industry convene to enrich club management, foster networking, and facilitate knowledge exchange. It is indeed a privilege to participate and have the opportunity to deliver a thought-provoking presentation on the topic of ‘Improving Lives through Golf,’ alongside the Leighton Walker. This profound theme shall delve deep into the extraordinary impact of golf transcending the boundaries of the course, offering boundless prospects for individuals across the globe. From the initial foray into the sport to nurturing professional aspirations, cultivating vital life skills, and harnessing the potential of golf to tackle pressing environmental challenges, the incontrovertible power of golf becomes evident. I will be profoundly grateful for the opportunity to share my personal journey and exemplify the remarkable values intrinsic to the noble sport of golf.” – Isaiah Mwesige.
