80s Neon, a $100,000 Hole-in-One Challenge, and a Mission to Support Foster Youth: The 3rd Annual K&D Classic Returns
WATSONVILLE, CA (May 15, 2026) - K&D Landscaping is celebrating 40 years on the Central Coast by bringing an 80s theme and a $100,000 hole-in-one challenge to the 3rd Annual K&D Classic. Set for Friday, August 28, 2026, at Seascape Golf Club in Aptos, CA, 100% of the tournament's proceeds will directly benefit CASA of Monterey County.
CASA of Monterey County trains community volunteers to advocate for children navigating the foster care and juvenile justice systems. These volunteers step in to support vulnerable youth through the court system, ensuring they have a consistent adult in their corner.
"K&D has been rooted in this community for 40 years, and that comes with a responsibility to show up for it," said Tony Battistella, Director of Growth at K&D Landscaping. "CASA does work that most people never see. They walk into courtrooms and sit beside kids who have nobody else. If we can use a day on the golf course to put real money behind that mission, that is exactly what we should be doing."
To honor the company's 1986 founding, the event will embrace a full 80s theme. Golfers are encouraged to wear neon, headbands, and windbreakers, with prizes awarded for the best individual and team costumes. The tournament also features a $100,000 prize for a hole-in-one on a designated hole, offering a high-stakes moment for the field.
The day runs as a shotgun scramble and includes lunch, a sit-down dinner, swag bags, drink tickets, and competitive payouts. Additional contests include the longest drive, closest to the pin, and fastest round.
Registration is open with limited spots available. Tickets are $175 per golfer. To register or explore sponsorship opportunities, visit EventCaddy.
