"Imagine yourself playing some of the best golf courses in America while sampling the finest Texas Whiskeys, all to benefit our veterans," said Texas Whiskey Festival Co-founder Jake Clements.

"Events like Links & Drinks go a long way to helping us make a difference in the lives of combat wounded veterans," added Impact a Hero's Executive Director Mike Nasche. "After navigating the outdoor replica course, participants can enjoy great food and music, and spend time with some of our nation's veterans. We're looking forward to a fun day on October 5th."
