Support Dave Roberts at The Hike

For the fourth year, I’m taking on The Hike in support of the National Links Trust—and the belief that golf should be open to everyone. Over the past three years of Hikes, I’ve played 382 holes, walked 82.5 miles, taken 173,000 steps, and helped raise nearly $16,000. 

I didn’t grow up playing the game, and never would have imagined how much of a role it would play in my life. After losing a friend and frequent playing partner to cancer, golf became something more—a way to grieve, to breathe, to reconnect. It has given me quiet mornings, unexpected friendships, and a lifetime of memories. 

That’s the power of municipal golf. It’s not about exclusivity or status—it’s about access. It’s one of the few places left where anyone, from any background, can show up, be welcomed, and belong.

With so much uncertainty surrounding the future of municipal golf in D.C., I’m proud to once again join the National Links Trust in the fight to keep these public spaces accessible, affordable, and engaging for all.
