On Tuesday, Jan. 23, Mavericks Beach Club will be holding its annual Puppies & Golf Farmers Insurance Open Kick-Off Block Party from 5-9 p.m. In support of Puppies & Golf Charity, the Pacific Beach bar will be transforming into a 6-hole putting course for guests to “take a swing,” as well as enjoy raffles and silent auctions, including Farmers Insurance Open tickets. Mavericks will also have adoptable dogs from Labs and More Rescue, dog bars, a Java Earth Coffee Bar, specialty cocktails created with Titos Vodka and Elijah Craig, permanent jewelry, and much more.

Puppies & Golf, founded in 2020, was created to protect and advocate for dogs in need while helping people understand and take advantage of the healing and health benefits of having a dog in their lives. Puppies & Golf is not only a community resource, but also provides grants to families, shelters, and rescues, and assists military veterans through organizations that rescue dogs and train them to become service animals. Puppies & Golf is passionate about providing people with the healing and emotional benefits that a dog provides, especially a rescue dog.
