PGA STORIES
Seminole’s Matt Cahill Has a Mentor Turned Fan in Bob Ford at PGA Championship. (Via PGA.com on May 19, 2023)
EXCERPTS... Matt Cahill just wrapped up his second season as the PGA Head Professional at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida, and after seven months of seven days a week, Cahill is ready to take a break over the summer.
Cahill has compiled a pretty impressive resume, spending two seasons at Oakmont, while also learning the business over several seasons at The Kittansett Club in Massachusetts and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island.
One of those teachers showing him the ropes was the legendary PGA Professional, Bob Ford,.
I started working for Bob Ford at Oakmont as an intern when I was a PGA Golf Management student at Florida State, and that led me to Seminole,” Cahill explains.
Cahill says Ford’s greatest quality is his ability to interact with people and make them feel like they were special and valued.

He’d make members feel like a million bucks every time they were at the club,” Cahill adds. “He always created a wonderful experience for them at Seminole.”
