About Divi Golf
The Vusi Golf Academy (VGA), founded in 2001 to promote golf in schools, merged with the South African Black Golfers Association (SABGA) in 2014. The academy was officially established in 2004 by Vusumuzi Mthethwa.
Vusi was a member of Evaton Golf Club in 2003–2004, where he worked as a golf developer before joining SABGA.
Our Coaching Philosophy and Mission
At the Vusi Golf Academy, our mission is to grow the game of golf from the grassroots level—starting with early childhood education and continuing through primary and secondary schooling. We proudly welcome young people up to age 30, whether they’re still in school or have completed matric, into our junior golfer program. Our development pathway supports players from their first swing all the way to the professional category.
We don’t believe in abandoning talent midway. Our academy offers continuous guidance from accredited coaches affiliated with the South African Black Golfers Association (SABGA), ensuring our golfers receive top-tier mentorship throughout their journey.
We also uplift the role of caddies by offering specialized training that transforms them from bag carriers into vital contributors to the game. A well-trained caddy enhances every round of golf—and we’re proud to cultivate this professionalism
