In this episode of Golf & Politics, we dive deep into one of the most important—and overlooked—stories in the game today.
We sit down with Will Smith, co-founder of the National Links Trust, to explore the intersection of golf, history, and power in Washington, DC. From restoring historic municipal courses to preserving access for everyday golfers, this conversation goes far beyond fairways and greens.
We cover:
The mission to keep golf affordable and accessible
The untold civil rights history of DC’s municipal courses
How golf became a rare space where politics doesn’t matter
The rise of the Outpost Club and modern golf culture
The growing tension between public golf and elite development
What happens when politics enters the game
This episode isn’t just about golf—it’s about community, opportunity, and who the game is really for.
If you care about the future of golf, you need to hear this.
