National Links Trust Hopes to Save Municipal Golf Courses One of the things that I find unacceptable in golf is the decline of municipal golf courses in our inner cities, the areas that need golf most. These courses could offer valuable jobs for inner city children to learn about the golf industry from the ground up, plus gain work skills that can help them in their future. One program that is saving three inner city municipal courses is the National Links Trust in By Fred Altvater Washington D.C. Kids learn about golf, as well as develop work skills as caddies, shop help and maintenance assistants. In addition, never underestimate the power of networking with adults, who can provide a positive role model and help find these kids jobs, when they enter the workforce. What is the National Links Trust Program The National Links Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and promoting accessible, affordable, and engaging municipal golf courses to positively impact local communities across the United States of America. The first project is focused on the extraordinary opportunity to improve the golf courses and enhance the facilities at the three municipal courses in our nation’s capital, East Potomac Golf Links, Langston, and Rock Creek Park. None, of which, are currently achieving their full potential. Michigan Golf Journal
