Bob Ford is one of golf’s greatest ambassadors, having served as the head pro at Oakmont for 37 years and at Seminole for 21 years (and serving both clubs concurrently for 17 of those years). Bob’s accomplishments as a head pro (with some 50+ assistants having gone on to notable head pro positions at other clubs) and as a player (having played in 10 PGA’s and 3 US Open’s in addition to winning multiple Pennsylvania Open and Pennsylvania PGA championships) are legendary. We talk with Bob about how he got started in the game, his time as an assistant at Oakmont under Lew Worsham, his becoming the head pro at Oakmont at age 25, making the cut as the host pro at the 1983 US Open, the famous tree removal project at Oakmont which became the model for other clubs across the country, and his time at Seminole and how he and his wife Nancy managed those two jobs with three children. We also get Bob’s views on the life of the club pro today, the role of technology in the game, and the state of the game today.
