Westport Negotiating Longshore Golf Pro Contract: Report
John Cooper has held the position for 26 years, but whether he will remain in the post is in question.
WESTPORT, CT — The 26-year tenure of Longshore Golf Club pro John Cooper may be coming to a close, as Westport negotiates a new golf contract with an undisclosed entity, reports Westport Now.

Cooper, a Westport native and popular fixture at the course and pro shop, was one of the four bidders for the new contract. When the town will announce Longshore's new golf pro was not disclosed.
