ABOUT THE
WPGA Four-Ball
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.
