Kiwanis to host annual ‘King of the Rock’
Player registration is still open for a golf tourney to support scholarships for local students.
The Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club will host the Doc Ford’s Invitational 2025 “King of the Rock” Tournament on April 19 at The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club on Sanibel. The two-person scramble will entail 18 holes of tournament golf, with registration open at 7:30 a.m. and a shotgun start at 9 a.m.
“This is one of our three fundraisers for the year,” club Board Member Eric Pfeifer, who is serving as one of the committee chairs for this year’s event, said.
Proceeds from the tourney will benefit the Kiwanis Foundation Scholarship Fund.
“One hundred percent of proceeds go to the kids and the scholarships that we hand out,” he said.
The teams and flights will be organized into men’s and women’s divisions.
“This is a real tournament,” Pfeifer said, noting that there will be no mulligans or freebies.
“All golfers must have a verified handicap,” he added.
Following the tourney, lunch will be provided by The Dunes Clubhouse.
Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the top finishers.
“Awards will be given to each flight winner,” Pfeifer said, noting that there are usually four or five.
The assignment of the teams and flights will take place at a pre-event “Calcutta” gathering on April 18 at 6 p.m. at The Dunes Clubhouse. Appetizers will be provided, with drinks available for purchase.
Doc Ford’s is the presenting sponsor.
Additional event supporters include: Cielo as a platinum/gold sponsor; Artistic Interiors, Bank of the Islands, and Pfeifer Realty Group as gold sponsors; American Gallery Homes, Heidrick & Company Insurance, Karen Bell Team at VIP Realty Sanibel and Captiva, Mold Busters, Sanibel Air and Electric, Sanibel Captiva Community Bank, Superior Title Services, and The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company as silver sponsors; and Attorney Secured Title Agency, Becker & Poliakoff, Chase Bank, John Grey Painting, Lake Michigan Credit Union, and Simmons and Cook as bronze sponsors.
