Caleb Olsen, Head Golf Professional
In 2008 a fellow Marine brought Olsen onto a golf course in Oahu, Hawaii, and there began his love for the game. For the past 11 years, he has developed his career as a Head Golf Professional, going on seven years now at Grizzly Ranch.
Immediately following high school, Olsen joined the United States Marine Corps. During his service from 2005 to 2009, he served two tours in Iraq.

Baty was part of the “Grow In” at Grizzly Ranch and notes that as “a career highlight”.
In 1998 he moved to California from Texas and took a job at Beale A.F.B. where he made one visit to the course and knew that being a Superintendent was for him.
