His high school coach had doubts about taking him on the team, but Brewer persuaded him by knocking three balls within a couple feet of the hole on a par-3 course.

Trivia

The golf course where he trained was renamed Gay Brewer Jr. Course at Picadome in his honor.

Associated With

Like Brewer, Jim Furyk had a rather unorthodox swing, which seemed to help his game rather than hamper it.
