Four-Ball is the most common form of play in
western Pennsylvania. The Association's Four-Ball Championship
was first played in 1939, and the winners of the inaugural were
L.R. Siebert and Jack Benson. The Siebert and Benson team also
won the second in 1940. Originally open only to teams with
members from the same Member Club, the event is now open to any
players who reside in the western Pennsylvania district who meet
handicap eligibility. The championship is thirty-six holes.
Many of the
names on the Joseph Shea Alexander Memorial Trophy are scattered
across the record books of our championships. Former Amateur
Champions to be a part of a winning Four-Ball team include Knox
Young, Jack Benson, Frank Souchak, Bob Reilly, John Birmingham,
Frank Fuhrer, III, Marshall Marraccini, Sean Knapp, and David
Brown.
