PORT LOUIS | Celebrations of a Reunion victory marked the climax of the inaugural Africa Region 4 Junior Team Championship at the Tamarina Golf and Spa resort in Mauritius on August 28.

The championship marked a historic milestone for junior golf on the continent, bringing together top young golfers from Region IV countries under the Africa Golf Confederation (UGC) umbrella.

“The Africa Golf Confederation is happy with the inaugural Region 4 Junior Team Championship. We are realising our dream come true of development of Junior Golf in Africa,” said AGC President Johnson Omolo from Uganda.

“This is what we promised on assumption of office. We shall continue to roll out such events in the South, West and Central Africa as we build tomorrow's champions by offering them the required exposure and competitiveness at an international level.”

He appealed to “like-minded public and private sector entities to support this journey as we unite Africa through Golf.” “We are grateful to Mauritius Golf Federation and all the six countries that participated in this event.”

The hosts, Mauritius, were joined by Reunion, Madagascar, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda at the championship.

THE ACTION

Reunion clinched the Africa Region IV Junior Golf Team Championship in Mauritius by a big margin.

The junior golfers from Reunion emerged best with a total of +28, with Kenya finishing as runners up at +59. Mauritius ended their campaign with +85, while Uganda was fourth at +109.

Tanzania and Madagascar occupied the last two slots with scores of +141 and +153 respectively.

The regional events are inspired by the growing success of continental competitions such as the All-Africa Junior Team Championships, which has over the years provided Junior African golfers with opportunities to showcase their talent on the global stage.

Focus now shifts to the Africa Region 4 Senior Amateur event to be hosted in Antananarivo Madagascar from November 26th – 30th 2025 at the luxurious Golf Du Rova Golf resort.
