Latest Tournament Highlights
Recent weeks have seen a burst of action across the African Golf Tour. The Sunshine Coast Open in South Africa delivered a dramatic finish, with local pro Thabo Moyo sinking a 15‑foot birdie putt on the final hole to win by one stroke. In Kenya, the Nairobi Masters attracted a mix of emerging talent and seasoned veterans; the winner, Aisha Hassan, made headlines for becoming the first woman to claim the title in ten years.
Meanwhile, the Sahara Classic in Morocco saw a surprise victory from Portugal’s João Silva, who rallied from eight strokes behind after the third round. His comeback highlighted the importance of staying patient on windy desert courses. These stories show the growing competitiveness of African golf and the rising profile of local players on the world stage.
Golf Tips, Gear and Local Courses
Beyond the tournaments, we cover everyday golf life. If you’re looking to improve your swing, try the “three‑point drill”: set up a tee, a ball, and a target, then focus on aligning your hips, shoulders and clubface in one smooth motion. It works on short fairways and helps reduce slicing.
Gear talk matters too. This season, many African golfers are switching to the new titanium drivers from Apex Golf because they offer extra distance without adding weight. Pair a flexible shaft with a higher loft if you usually play on windy links like Cape Town’s Sea View Golf Club.
Speaking of courses, Africa boasts a variety of settings worth a visit. The high‑altitude fairways of Zambia’s Lusaka Golf Resort provide thin air that can add yardage, while the coastal dunes at Tanzania’s Pwani Links demand precise shot‑shaping. We list the best public tees, price ranges and booking tips so you can plan a quick weekend round.
We also keep an eye on junior development programs. The Ghana Youth Golf Academy just launched a scholarship that funds equipment and coaching for ten promising players. Supporting these initiatives helps grow the sport from the ground up, and it’s something fans and sponsors alike can get behind.
Stay tuned for weekly updates, player interviews and behind‑the‑scenes looks at tournament prep. Our goal is to make African golf easy to follow and fun to share. Grab your clubs, check the latest scores, and join the conversation – the fairways are waiting.
