Feroze also hailed the management of AFRIYEA Golf Academy for the incredible work being executed especially by providing a training and competitive environment to them.

“When I was captain of Toro Club, we used to have young boys as Ronald Rugumayo, Ronald Otile, Adolf Muhumuza and Joseph Cwinyaai among others. They are now current stars. They used to be caddies but we helped them organize tournaments. This is how they became great players. Now, they are being handled through an academy, the first of its kind, you are destined for the future stars in the game” Feroze stated.

Feroze was named the academy ambassador in 2020.

“I am glad for Isaiah Mwesige (CEO, Afriyea Golf Academy) for this project. This means that the greatness of Toro Golf Club will continue because we not only have boys but also girls in the academy. That said, in the next five years, Toro club will be fully representing both national teams” he added.
