Support Akeem Anderson at The Hike
Golf is more than just a game to me—it's a masterclass in patience, focus, honesty, and resilience. As a Black golfer, I've always cherished our municipal courses for their role as entry points to the game and as vital spaces for community and connection.
This is my second year taking on the "100 Hole Hike," and the mission has never felt more important.
After months of uncertainty and a very public fight, National Links Trust recently secured a new long-term lease at Langston Golf Course and Rock Creek Park Golf, while continuing operations at East Potomac. All three courses will remain affordable and accessible. A hard-won victory — but winning the lease is just the beginning.
NLT has invested more than $8.5 million in these courses and built programs that change lives. Sustaining that work requires resources, and that's where you come in.
On June 9th I'm walking 100 holes — over 25 miles — to fund:
The Jack Vardaman Workforce Development Program
Free Lesson Fridays
Course sustainability and rehabilitation projects
National initiatives connecting municipal golf communities nationwide
We didn't fight this hard to stop now. I hope you'll walk with me.
