Ionia Golf – Meet Bart Lower

Sue and Carol Ertl with Bart Lower at Shadow Ridge CC, Ionia MI
Mom, Val and I went to Ionia to play the course I grew up on – The Ionia CC – now called Shadow Ridge CC. The Donald Ross designed 9-hole course is a treat to play, narrow in spots on the rolling terrain, and in great shape – I hope all in the area will get the chance to play this little jewel. I scored par of 35, and my birdies on #3 and # 5 were negated by the double on 8. It was a surprise to meet Bart Lower, the pro and general manager who many of you may know as one of the stars of The Golf Channel’s BIG BREAK II and IV. Like myself, Bart grew up in Ionia on this course, and after assisting the MSU Men’s Golf Team for a year, returns to Shadow Ridge with his wife Niki to put Shadow Ridge and its banquet facilities back on the map. Thanks Bart and Niki and good luck in the years to come. I truly went back in time with memories of my brother Jay and me playing hundreds of rounds on this course. It was great “Coming Home to Ionia”.
