Course Notes: Brentwood Golf Club
Home of the Iron City Open since 1936, Brentwood has attracted some of
the greatest names in golf. The 1.1 million purse is provided by the
Western Pennsylvania Brewer's Association, who bring you such premium
brews as Iron City, Rolling Rock, and Yuengling Brothers beers.
Winners receive a year's supply of Old Frothingslosh ("Hi Dittom
Dottom, the Foam's on the Bottom -- When the Bottle's Upside Down") beer
in addition to the $198,000 prize.
The "Iron Man" (Byron Nelson) heads the winners list with five victories
at the Open. Such greats as Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, and Arnold Palmer have
also won here, but by a statistical fluke Jack Nicklaus has failed to
place better than second in fifteen tries. (See the attached winners file
for a list of all winners since 1936.)
The record for the Open is the 21-under par 267 scored by Nick Price in
1990. Course record is 63, set by Juan "Chi-Chi" Rodriguez in 1967.
Last year Ben Crenshaw slogged through the last two soggy rounds to post
a 14-under par 274 for his first win at the Open.
The Iron City Open is played in the second week of May, right after the
prestigious Refuge open at the nearby Refuge Country Club. Charities
supported include several area hospitals as well as the Pittsburgh
Steelers "We Want a Quarterback" fund.
Designer's Notes
Brentwood Golf Club is a fictional course named for the suburb of
Pittsburgh where I grew up. Although the terrain is wholly imaginary,
it resembles the rolling, wooded landscape of the area. Design principles
include fairly wide fairways (30-40 yards on average) and moderate greens
with some tricky undulations. The holes are set up to accomodate a
variety of shots: the course does not dictate the shot you have to make.
All holes are doglegged to a greater or lesser extent, rewarding the
player who can work the ball, but favor neither left-to-right nor
right-to-left players. The course presents the opportunity for a
relaxing, forgiving game with the chance of making a decent score.
The trees and bushes are mostly modified JNUG objects with a more
realistic color scheme, except for Lee Ritze's pine from Augusta.
The backgound is straight from the JNSE disk.
Note that the course is set up as a palindrome: par for all holes reads
the same from 1 to 18 or from 18 to 1.
The designer welcomes questions, comments, and (constructive) criticism
from players of this course. (No letter bombs, please!) Mail can be
sent to the address below, or posted on 19th Hole or Double Eagle.
Brentwood and its sister course, Refuge, are found in the designer's FRP
world, Refuge, where some of the greatest legends in sports have been
resurrected to compete against one another.
