Betty Swanson

Born and raised in Saint Paul, Minn., Betty Swanson grew up on the east side, where she started playing golf at Keller Golf Course. Swanson was a professional career woman, which limited her play in State golf championships, but she made the most of it during the 1960’s winning the Minnesota Women’s Amateur Championship three times and finishing runner-up four other times. Swanson also won the 1979 Minnesota Senior Women’s State Amateur.
