Golf loses a class act with the death of longtime Winged Foot head pro Tom Nieporte

The golf world lost a gentlemen with the Dec. 21 death of Tom Nieporte, the longtime head pro at Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., who forged a reputation as one of the great club professionals in the game. Faced with the unenviable task of succeeding Claude Harmon at Winged Foot in 1978, Nieporte carved out his own legend over the next 28 years.
