Personal Statement

I started in junior golf around 11 or 12 after having raced quarter midgets before that. My dad was a mini-tour player and a golf instructor who later formed Pro Golf Academy. He would take my brothers and I golfing and through his knowledge of the game I was taught the fundamentals and etiquette of golf. I advanced quickly and while I spent most of those younger seasons caddying for my dad, I played very well in the junior events I did enter. I recall shooting 72 at La Cantera (former home to the Texas Valero Open PGA event) when I was 13 in a STPGA Junior Tour event.

As a result of caddying for my dad, I didn’t enter all the junior tournaments that most kids do, although when I did, I either won or was in the top 10 regularly. However, the summer of my sophomore year, I qualified for the US Junior Amateur in Bremerton, WA. My brother, also a great junior player, caddied for me as I not only made the cut advancing to the match play but made it to the top 32. At that time I was contacted by 13 D1 Universities including Stanford, University of Texas, Oklahoma, Auburn, Northwestern, Virginia, Kansas, Baylor and several others.

Shortly after returning from the US Jr Amateur, I sprained my wrist and missed the cut in the Texas State Junior Championship. While recuperating from my injury, which is completely healed, I realized I needed a break & some balance in life. I continued to play high school golf taking a 2nd place at the UIL sectional this year and a T3 last year, amongst other top finishes,  but I did not fill my schedule with other events. In fact I had amassed several AJGA exemptions but did not play any tournaments.  In many ways I really needed that balance, but in other ways, I realize I’ve missed many opportunities to showcase my talent and secure a spot in an NCAA D1 program.

My love for golf never waned however, and I am now more dedicated than ever to play collegiate golf, get my education and perhaps make a run at the PGA Tour. I realize that as a result of the above mentioned, I don’t have a lengthy or complete resume in the traditional sense, but for those coaches that might be reading this, I assure you that I will compete for the starting five at any school in the nation. Please peruse my videos and contact my high school coaches and club head pro for further information and recommendations.

My family has limited financial resources and my younger brother Austin Olsen is also playing at a high level. The junior golf tournament circuit gets very expensive for my parents so I will be working to help pay for tournaments going forward. This will keep me sharp and allow you to follow me. Additionally, I’m willing to redshirt or even go to a Junior College for a year in order to later transfer into a top NCAA D1 program. For those interested, please contact me and I will keep you informed of my schedule.

Thank you for your consideration,

Andrew Olsen
