Overview:

French golf professional and senior tour player Philippe Corsaletti has arrived in Uganda to lead a two-week junior golf camp aimed at nurturing the country’s next generation of elite players.
Corsaletti, a seasoned PGA coach with decades of international experience, touched down on 30th July in Fort Portal, where he will be working closely with AFRIYEA Golf Academy and Tooro Golf Club.
The camp focuses on young players aged 12 to 16, particularly those with handicaps of 20 or better.
I’m excited to be here. Uganda has some incredible young talent. This camp is about more than just swing mechanics we’re helping kids understand course strategy, develop mental toughness, and learn the values that come with the game.

Corsaletti’s résumé speaks for itself. He is a certified Master Performance Coach with the Swiss PGA, a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Level 1 instructor, and a U.S. Kids Golf–certified coach.
On the course, he’s competed at a high level on the European Senior Tour and was a top four finisher in the 2023 European Long Drive Championship.
His coaching has taken him across Europe, the Middle East, and now Africa, as part of his commitment to developing golf in emerging regions.
The junior camp is part of AFRIYEA Golf Academy’s broader mission to grow the game across East Africa, using golf not only to build sporting skills but also to instil discipline, confidence, and life values.
Golf is a game of character, and that’s exactly what we’re building here. Partnering with someone like Philippe is not just about technique. It’s about showing our juniors what’s possible if they work hard and stay committed and the goal of the camp is to discover how these young talents can be transformed to dominate the game of golf globally in future.

The sessions, held daily at Toro Golf Club, feature hands-on instruction from Corsaletti, covering full-swing analysis, short game, putting under pressure, and on-course play.
The camp will culminate in a mini tournament where the juniors will test their improved skills in a competitive setting.
Robert Mugabe, captain of Toro Golf Club, praised the initiative.
This camp is a huge step forward for youth golf in Uganda. Coach Corsaletti brings a world-class perspective, and our juniors are gaining not just lessons, but inspiration and we appreciate Philipe for his commitment to support the game of golf.

As Corsaletti gets to work with the young players, the atmosphere at Toro is electric with hope and ambition.
For many of the children involved, this camp may be their first step toward competing on the international stage and thanks to Philippe and AFRIYEA as they will look on how to build the next step from this camp.
