Many senior organizations began in the 1920’s, and the first West Penn Senior Amateur was played in 1929.  Two players dominated in its first two decades with five wins each—George T. Gregg and Jim Wells, the top winners to this day.  Next with three are Phil Saylor, Sunnehanna, Arnold Horelick, and Knox Young, Shannopin, a top player in the 50’s and 60’s.  Bob Kiersky won the 1965 crown; later that fall he won the USGA Senior Amateur at Fox Chapel.  The 18-hole competition was changed to 36 in 2000, with the 18-hole record held by Saylor with 69 in 1998, and the 36-hole set in 2005 by Paul Schlachter with 69-68—137.
