Siderowf has claimed numerous amateur titles, including two British Amateurs and one Canadian Open. He was on the World Cup team in 1968 and 1976 and has dominated amateur golf in his native Northeast, winning five Connecticut Amateurs, four metropolitan (NY) Amateurs, three Connecticut Opens and one new England Amateur.
