What a great guy. Loved playing golf with him. This is so sad. Rest In Peace “Bif”
He will be missed, many rounds and lessons with him and his teacher bob fry at the Burn ❤️
RIP Lonnie! Thanks for all you have done for “The PGA Professionals”
A great boss, mentor, & even better friend. RIP Lonnie, you will be missed.
Sad to see the news! One of the firsts tournaments I played in the WNYPGA when I was 26 was a final rd with him and he shot 66! I was in awe and took it all in!! He will be missed and I know there are a lot of Pros that will never forget what Lonnie did in our Section and for the game of golf!!
An absolute legend 😎
RIP Lonnie🙏🏻
Truly one of the best golf professionals I have ever worked with . A sad day for golf in WNY . He was the epitome of success on every level !
RIP Lonnie Nielsen.
Lonnie is one of the biggest reasons I am a PGA Professional...will never forget the opportunities and friendship he offered me as a young golfer
He was a class act, sad news.
Met Lonnie when he first came to Crag Burn and wrote an article on him in my newspaper, WNY GOLFER and we called him the Golden Cub. He inspired me to later turn Pro. Just an all around great person. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.
RIP to a great player and even a better guy.

Our partner @IkonikGolf teamed up with Coach @jameshonggolf to create a free Winter Program Toolkit that makes launching winter instruction programs super easy for any coach.
Even though it’s winter, your golf season doesn’t have to end. Digital winter programs keep your business, and your students, on track.
In the free Toolkit, Coach @jameshonggolf shows you how he built his winter programs in 6 simple steps. It includes everything you need to launch — from sample program content, to a duplicable marketing plan, to how to price your programs.
It’s easy for you to activate. All you need to do is make it yours and hit send 🏌.
Interested in launching a winter program too?
➡️ Click the link in @IkonikGolf’s bio to access the free Toolkit. It is only accessible this December.
What are you waiting for?
