For the past four years the golf tournament has been known as the Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame Golf Classic, but was renamed this past year in honor of Santa Ana College Hall of Fame member (1980) and Orange and Los Angeles Counties broadcasting legend Ed Arnold. Following his tour of duty with the United States Marine Corp, In 1966, Arnold graduated from Santa Ana College where he earned an associate of arts degree in business and played football for the Dons before transferring to California State University, Long Beach to earn his bachelor's degree in broadcasting.
“It's an honor and a privilege to have Ed Arnold's named attached to our golf tournament,” said Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame chair Ken Purcell. “Since he was a student at Santa Ana College, Ed has been such a big fan of the college and the athletic program that the tournament committee felt it was only fitting to honor him by renaming our annual fundraising golf tournament after him.”
The tournament, which can accommodate up to 144 players, will be a four-person team scramble format with awards being presented to flight champions and winners of the closest-to-the pin, longest drive and putting contests.
Proceeds from the tournament will support the continued development of the Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame and provide scholarships to transferring Santa Ana College student-athletes. The Santa Ana College Athletic Hall of Fame honors former student-athletes, coaches and special contributors who have distinguished themselves throughout the 88-year history of the college.
