NFL Hall of Famer Joe Montana will serve as guest host of the annual Oaks Christian golf tournament Monday at North Ranch Country Club.

Montana, whose son Nick plays quarterback for the Lions, will help raise funds for the school’s financial aid program. For the 2009-10 school year, nearly 40% of Oaks Christian students received need-based financial aid.

PGA pro Steve Pate will also join the festivities, providing pointers, hitting balls and talking golf. There will be a putting contest, a helicopter ball drop raffle and a ‘Beat the student golfer’ contest featuring members of the Oaks Christian golf team. A new Mercedes-Benz or a 72-inch plasma television will be awarded to players who hit a hole in one. The day will conclude with an awards dinner featuring a silent and live auction.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
