We took this opportunity to sit down with Roger, for sneak a peek into his daily life and the soul behind the camera. Roger's dropped some sweet nuggets of wisdom and some curiously unexpected answers to our rapid-fire questions.

Joining Roger on his journey over the last 12 months has been nothing but magic. He’s got an unwavering passion for spreading the joy of golf to all those around him and the global audience he has naturally engaged watching from afar. He isn’t just playing golf, he’s committed to growing the game in the purest of ways. Having fun, getting communities involved and making his world, and the people around him, happier by stripping it back to basics.

Though you might think Roger spends the majority of his days on the green, it turns out that following his 4am wake-up routine, he’s straight off to local schools and communities to teach children about golf, through demonstrations, practical lessons and a whole lot of smiles.

It’s in his spare time when he gets around to hitting the course. When asked about his hometown, Roger shared with us that most people still don’t know much, if anything, about golf. Which is a huge motivation for him.

We also caught up with Co-Founder and Creative Director of Birds, Frankie Kimpton, to get his take on the partnership… and he kinda spilled a little secret:

Birds of Condor X ROGER SALI

Needless to say, we’re all pretty damn pumped about it! It’s always been a dream of Roger’s to be able to support himself and his family while doing what he loves and empowering others. Since growing his profile over the last 12 months he’s been able to do just that, paying for his siblings tuition and becoming somewhat of a local hero. The Birds X Roger Sali collaboration will help him pursue that vision even further:

“This [collaboration] means a lot to me and I hope will also inspire more kids and people to focus on their dreams.”

Roger’s other goal for this collab, or perhaps a side mission for those playing at home, is to have his coach Nick form slomo swing library and superstar Minwoolee, rock his threads. You’re all going to have to help us make that happen.
