Olsen is admittedly "a little nervous" this week. An occasional golfer, he's never played in a Pro-Am. That will change Wednesday at Quail Hollow.

"When it's something that you do on a regular basis, you have past experiences to draw from," Olsen says. "When things aren't going good, you've been there before, you can kind of get yourself out of it. This is going to be a first-time experience for me." ...

"I'm not a very good golfer," he admits.

[...]

Olsen will have someone on his bag who's sure to divert some of the attention. Luke Kuechly isn't just a Pro Bowl linebacker. He's now a caddie and mental coach.

"He's a good level head," Olsen says. "He'll probably be a good influence on me if I get too riled up over a few bad shots. He'll be a good, steadying force."

If he wasn't recovering from shoulder surgery, Kuechly could be playing in the Pro-Am, showing off what he learned the last time the PGA Tour stopped in Charlotte. Instead, he offered to be Olsen's help. 

"When he mentioned it, I said, 'You really want to carry my bag? Like ... you're Luke. Why are you going to carry my bag?' But that's why he's Luke," Olsen says.  "He's a great dude. He's a good buddy of mine and I just think it's a fun opportunity. He can't play in it, so it's the next best thing. He'll be out there with me. We'll be a tag team for one afternoon and see if we can do some damage."

[...]

In this case, pressure and success are all relative.

"Listen, it's not the Super Bowl. At the end of the day, no one expects me to go out there and shoot par. I'm going to enjoy it, I'm going to have fun with it, I'm going to do the best I can and just enjoy a great event," Olsen says.

"Hopefully I don't hit anybody."
