The book recounts his story which began in Luanshya, a small mining town in Zambia, a country of 17 million people and fewer than 5000 golfers. With 7 siblings, he grew up in a two bedroomed house and experienced life without running water and electricity. The captivating tales in this book takes you through his early childhood which was occupied by playing barefoot soccer, hunting for birds and mice and a lifestyle limited to think no further than the confines of his unprogressive community. When his dad introduced him to golf at age 10, it opened up a whole world of new opportunities, but also initiated a fight to beat unsurmountable odds. It was a journey of self-discovery where he describes how falling in love with a game uncommon in his country, inspired a new life of ambition and gave him refined hope.
At age 11, he was taking the game of golf by storm and by age 14, he was playing on the Zambia national team. At 19 years old, without financial backing, he boarded a plane to the United Kingdom where his attempt to pursue golf was strongly tested after defaulting on tuition fees and running out of living resources first in England and later in Scotland. It's a relentless pursuit, breaking barriers and creating a pioneering legacy in the process. His quest for the historic PGA tag brought him to America in 2013. After encountering predicaments in similar fashion to the UK, he earned membership to the PGA of America in 2018. This book will inspire you to invoke your greatest strength, trust your instinct and set you on a path to fearlessly go after your wildest dreams.
Through his Raised by The World Foundation which is inspired by Ubuntu, an African proverb meaning 'I am because we are, my humanity is tied to yours.' he has donated golf equipment, provides scholarships and established a rural mentorship program which inspires rural Zambian children to develop goals and aspirations.
