Mr Michael Aggrey, former president of the Ghana Golf Association (GGA), has successfully secured a further 4-year mandate as Secretary General of the Africa Golf Confederation (AGC).
This historic retention occurred during the Biennial General Meeting of the AGC held on 16th October 2026, in Hammamet, Tunisia, against the vibrant backdrop of the All Africa Team Championship (AATC).
Having previously served as Secretary General from 2022 to date, Mr. Aggrey was unanimously acclaimed as Secretary General going forward for a further 4-year term.
Mr. Michael O. Aggrey, whose administrative acumen has long anchored both Ghana and West Africa as a pillar of sports diplomacy, has made history as a key executive officer steering day-to- day operations and inter-nation coordination across the continent’s affiliates. Having served with distinction in this role since 2022, his unopposed endorsement for another four-year term (2026 – 2030) reflects the absolute confidence that the African golfing community places in his executive leadership.
His tenure has been marked by tremendous, tangible reforms that have modernized the AGC’s operations. Key pillars of his executive legacy include: leading aggressive outreach strategies to introduce and formalize golf in previously non-golfing African nations, expanding the sport’s footprint across the continent; Bringing organizational stability, transparency, and structure to the governance framework of the Confederation; Introducing strict fiscal responsibility and meticulous financial management practices, ensuring that the AGC’s resources are optimized for development and tournament support; among others.
With his seat and portfolio firmly secured for the next four years, Mr. Aggrey, alongside re-elected AGC President Johnson Omolo, will steer the Confederation through its next phase of growth. His primary focus will remain on deepening partnerships with global bodies to enhance technical training; solidifying corporate sponsorships to back major regional events; and elevating grassroots talent pipelines to ensure African golfers compete successfully on the global stage.
Mr. Michael O. Aggrey’s re-election as Secretary General is a testament to an administrative career dedicated to excellence, transparency, and growth. His continued presence on the AGC Executive Council guarantees that the momentum built over the last four years will carry forward, positioning African golf for an era of unprecedented continental integration and professional success.
He was CDM of Team Ghana at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, where Ghana won a bronze medal.
