Oxbow, ND native Amy Olson has decided to call it a career. She made the announcement via the social media app X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning.
In the post she thanked those who made her playing career possible saying, “I couldn’t be more thankful for the places God took me through this game of golf.” She continued the post by thanking her family and coaches, “Most importantly I’m grateful for the people who helped me along this journey. My dad, mom, and brother were the catalysts for my love of golf. Coaches Dale Helm, Eon Stockton, Craig Farnsworth, and David Ross played pivotal roles in developing my skill.”
(1/4) What. A. Ride. My journey in professional golf is officially ending. Call it quitting, retirement, a VERY extended maternity leave …I am turning the page to the next chapter in my life. I couldn’t be more thankful for the places God took me through this game of golf. pic.twitter.com/PQ4MoDu8O9
