MEADVILLE – There are many times when a golf tournament is described as “senior” anything. It’d judged as something not quite as important as those for non-senior players. It’s a foolish judgement and the senior and super-senior players prove each year how foolish those ideas area.
Monday and Tuesday of this week, the West Penn Golf Association’s 90th Mid-Amateur Seniors and Super-Seniors put their games on display at the Country Club of Meadville with really nice success.
Three old friends find themselves at the top of Senior event, with Arnie Cutrell’s 70, carrying a one-shot lead over Sean Knapp and a two-shot lead over Edward Podufal.
Ten minutes before that trio tees off, Bob Crnjarich (73), Paul Banjor (74) and Michael Capotis (75) will be trying to catch the final group.
“These guys can play,” Knapp said. “There were several guys who qualified and when we saw the tee times, agreed, And whoever is in the middle of The Pack, they’re going to have play hard and hope they can catch a couple breaks."
The Senior is open to amateur golfers who have reached their 55th birthday by Oct.11,2021 with a handicap index not exceeding 12.4 strokes.
