The Hike | Akeem Anderson

Support Akeem and his efforts at National Links Trust’s ‘The Hike at East Potomac’ on Monday, June 9th

Golf is one of the best sports you can pick up. It teaches patience, focus, and resilience, and brings people together across generations and backgrounds.  These are the reasons I’ve always loved golf, especially municipal courses—the historic ones that have welcomed players of all backgrounds, and the local tracks that serve as entry points for so many, including Black golfers like me. Public golf has been a space for community, access, and connection, and I believe it should stay that way.

I'm doing The Hike this year to support The National Links Trust, whose mission to preserve and enhance the public golf courses in DC is incredibly important to me. I’m doing this to help protect and improve these courses and to make sure the next generation—especially young people who might not otherwise have the opportunity—can fall in love with the game like I did.

I’ll be walking over 25 miles and playing 100 holes to raise funds for the National Links Trust’s work in supporting munis and growing the game. If you can, I’d be grateful for your support.
