Fore! Join us for an extraordinary evening at our café, where we blend the worlds of golf, whisky, and coffee into a unique experience. Welcome to "Putts &amp; Pours: An Evening of Golf, Whisky, and Coffee."
At the heart of our event is Dr. Richard Goldberg, a Professor of Psychiatry at Brown and the Founder of <a href="https://www.drrichgolf.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr Rich Golf</a>. The evening will begin with a talk from Dr. Rich on “The Mental Keys to Better Golf,” followed by a Q&amp;A session. Dr. Rich is an avid golfer himself with an active mental coaching practice, working with golfers of all levels. He will share many insights from his recently published book Better Golf Better Life on improving your golf through better mental skills. After all, it’s widely acknowledged that golf is 90% mental.
As Dr. Rich shares his insights, indulge in a curated whisky flight experience. Choose between two flights, each offering a selection of exquisite Scotch whiskies expertly chosen to tantalize the palate. From Aberlour's rich complexities to Talisker's smoky allure, each sip is an invitation to savor the finer things in life.
