About us


At GH Global our goal is simple, to bring the best golf brands from around the globe to you, and to make this your one stop shop where you can find everything you were missing.

GH Global was established when two families came together and decided to import and distribute Premium Golf Brands from around the globe, right here in South Africa. Our passion for golf started long ago when the need to play far outweighed the means to play. Not having a proper golf bag to hold your clubs was no issue, as long as your laundry bag was big enough. All the way through to that first time when the son outdrives the dad, and the dad doesn’t know whether to be proud or feel defeated. And now, many years and many mulligans later, the family even has a pro golfer in our midst. We might not know for sure what the future holds, but one thing is for certain, our passion for golf will never fade.

When we started the company, we set out with a vision to provide exclusive golf products to the South African Market with premium service and customer experience. To ensure that we not only make these products easily available to you, but that we only provide the best of the best brands, on and off the golf course.

Currently we are the exclusive distributor of Lyle & Scott in South Africa, and there is much more in store. Our aim is to not only bring in more of your favourite brands, but to establish these brands in South Africa, and eventually expand our distributions to Mauritius and other growing markets in Africa. To have a presence in the market that has every customer excited to see what’s next.

We are devoted to enhancing our customers’ lifestyle, but we also want to ensure we do so in the most sustainable way possible. In a world where it is not only becoming increasingly important but also very evident that there is a need to be more sustainable, we are very committed to do our part. It is for this very reason that we choose only to work with brands that hold the same values.
