THE GREATER LANSING AREA SPORTS HALL
OF FAME
INDUCTION CEREMONY
DAN OLSEN
July 28, 2022
By Chuck Krafft
Dan Olsen
was one of the finest golfers to ever come from the Lansing Area. He had a fine career at East Lansing High
School and the University of Indiana. He
went on to be a professional golfer.
He was an
individual and state champion at East Lansing high school and achieved
All-State recognition in 1984 and 1985.
At the
University of Indiana, he was the Indiana Amateur Winner in three different
years and had the lowest stroke average on the University’s Golf Team in two
different years.
He was on
the PGA and National Golf Tours as well.
Mr. Olsen
said he was proud to be at the induction ceremony. He was the product of parents who lived across
the street from a golf course. While he
started his athletic journey as a basketball player, he eventually started in
golf to give him a fall sport.
Because East
Lansing had a rare opportunity for a freshman to be on the varsity golf team,
he spent four years on the varsity. He
thanked his coach as well as his family and other families who golf for their
help in making his golf career a success.
