Ventura College will be holding its third annual Brian Marshall Golf Classic to commemorate the life and career of former Pirate coach Brian Marshall.

From 1972 to 2002, Marshall was the respected as an educator and coach at Ventura College. During his thirty-year career, he served as the head coach for Golf, Football and men’s and women’s basketball.

According to Tim Harrison, Dean of Health, Physical Education and Athletics at Ventura College, Brian Marshall will be remembered as a mentor to many student-athletes and the VC staff during his tenure.

“Brian Marshall will be remembered as a great person and a great mentor for the students and staff at Ventura College,” Harrison said.

Marshall passed away in April 2006 after a battle with Amyloidosis. After his passing, Ventura College made it a mission to pass on his dedication and passion for athletics as a former player and coach.

Harrison expects a pretty large crowd at the event, with as many as 130 volunteers on staff to help.

The event will be held at Saticoy Country Club in Somis, Cali. on Monday, Nov. 2. Registration begins at 9 a.m., while a shotgun start will begin at 11 a.m.

The entry fee to participate is $200 per person, with all proceeds benefiting the Brian Marshall Memorial Scholarship Endowment, VC men’s golf and VC Athletics.

A dinner, awards banquet and auction will be held after the golf classic from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. You may attend the dinner only for $50 a person.

If you are unable to attend the dinner or participate in the golf classic, VC athletics is accepting money donations, with checks made payable to the Ventura College Foundation.
