One of the best golfers I ever played with and best friend of my long time pro passed away from dementia. Lonnie Nielsen.


Lonnie was the long time pro at Craig Burn in Buffalo before winning twice on the champions tour.

One of the few topics I never got to cover with Lonnie, was golf course architecture. As a result, I'm reticent to post this here but, with John Kavanaugh's impending support, I'll go ahead and do so. With the hope that it makes some of you chuckle, others nod their heads, and still more sign up for a lesson with a legend, here's "The Lesson"
