The Experience, Emeryville: Tipsy Putt Fundraiser

The Experience:

Get your putters ready & take a swing at hunger!

Sip, putt, enjoy a taco and help fight hunger. Tipsy Putt, Emeryville’s popular mini golf bar & restaurant, has partnered with Move for Hunger and AVE to host a golf tournament for a good cause.

The tournament, with various levels of competition, begins at 2pm on Thursday, August 17, at Tipsy Putt at Bay St to benefit Move for Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and providing meals for those in need in our community.

 Tipsy Putt will also conduct a food drive throughout the month of August, naming Move for Hunger as its Sunday FundDay recipient. For every beer and game of golf, Tipsy Putt will donate $1 to Move for Hunger during August. Sponsors are still needed for this Par-tee with a purpose fundraiser.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5.  You’ll find Tipsy Putt at the north end of Bay St  across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.

Move for Hunger is a nonprofit that mobilizes delivery of  ‘rescued’ food to food banks and pantries. Their network of socially-responsible relocation companies provides their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move.

On Saturday and Sunday, May 6-7, some of the world’s top and highly competitive sailors will race high-speed catamarans across San Francisco Bay in the final stretch for the SailGP Trophy.

After 12-months and 10 SailGP events held at iconic venues around the world, Season 3 will end with the crowning of the overall season champion on San Francisco Bay.

You can reserve seating right on the waterfront at the Marina Green within the SailGP Stadium at Yacht Club Peninsula with great commentary and large screens. It will be exhilarating watching teams filled with America’s Cup and World Championship winners. Besides the up-close view, food and drinks are also available in the stadium.

Jimmy Spithill is skippering for Team USA in this Larry Ellison-backed tournament SailGP, which is being held off Marina Green. Team USA is currently ranked 7th..  But Team USA needs your support as they tool up for Season 4 which starts in June.  Tickets are $75 for this seating or you can bring your own boat and moor up right along the racecourse. May be the best seat in the house!

Ranking by points with Drivers:

  1. Australia – 84 – Tom Slingsby

What is SailGP?

It’s fast-paced racing by young (team mean age is 26) world champion sailors. The SailGP F50 boats are engineered to be identical – leaving the competition with the teams’ performance and use of the cutting-edge technology.

SailGP goal: To leave a positive legacy and build a sustainable sport – by providing equal, life-changing opportunities and new career pathways for all, regardless of race or socioeconomic background.

In their passion for protecting the oceans, one of SailGP’s sustainability efforts will be to eliminate plastic waste during the races. SailGP’s target is to accelerate the transition to clean energy and be the most sustainable and purpose-driven sports and entertainment property.
