I would like to nominate Jon Janik — the head pro at the Longshore golf course — for this week’s Unsung Hero Award.
Tee time reservations opened this morning at 6:30. The team migrated to a new booking system yesterday afternoon.
It’s been a challenging transition. But Jon’s patience and persistence have been truly appreciated.
He emailed back and forth with me for several hours yesterday. He did not stop until he was able to get both my husband’s and son’s accounts functioning properly. He worked well past regular hours — until almost 9 p.m., in fact.
Jon Janik
Thank you, Jon, for going above and beyond to help ensure opening weekend runs smoothly, and is filled with happy memories.
PS: Thank you to “068800” too, for highlighting Unsung Heroes. The writeups are a great reminder of how fortunate we are to live in a community that recognizes the selfless efforts of others.
Thanks, Lindsay. In the grand scheme of things, a golf pro who goes the extra mile is a little thing. But, as you note, the little things add up to a big part of what makes Westport special. So thank you too, Jon Janik, for all that you and your staff at the Longshore golf course do, for so many.
