USAfrica Golf Tournament Captures the ONE African Diaspora Spirit

This tournament’s intention is meant to brings together African diaspora golfers for a day of fun & a sense of community. The tournament was organized by Pele Katangaza , an African diaspora member from Uganda who invited African golfers from all walks of life living in New England and the entire event truly embodied the One ☝🏾 African Diaspora’s spirit.
