i i i i i -r i )' ni)iiiW rnri C-3 PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE FRIDAY, JUNE 1 6, 2000 OBITUARIES ROBERT TRENT JONES Designed or remodeled 500 golf courses in U.S., abroad sonal challenge of combat. He attacks the course and par, the architect creates fair pitfalls to defend its easy conquest. The architect calls on his ingenuity to create a hole that will reward only achievement." Mr. Jones collaborated with the late Bobby Jones, the legendary golfer (no relation), in designing Peachtree in Atlanta. At Bobby Jones' request, he redesigned the llth and 16th holes at Augusta National, the site of the Masters.

In addition to his 21 U.S. Open courses, Mr. Jones worked on 12 courses that have held the PGA Championship and six that held the World Cup. He designed Valderrama in Spain, the site of the 1997 Ryder Cup matches, and the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club course in Manassas, Va the site of the 1994 and 1996 President's Cup matches. He created a putting green at the White House for President Eisenhower, as well as a hole with three different tees at Camp David, the president's weekend retreat in Maryland.

Jones' clients included the Rockefeller family, the Aga Khan and King Hassan II of Morocco. But among his last designs were 18 public layouts in Alabama, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. "You look at a piece of ground," he said, "and you know instinctively what makes a great hole. There is a flow and rhythm that you can feel." and remodeling more than 150 others, including 79 that were used for the U.S. Open or other national championships.

His courses endure in 45 states and 35 foreign countries on every continent except Antarctica. "The sun never sets," he enjoyed saying, "on a Robert Trent Jones golf course." His death came on the eve of the U.S. Open, which began yesterday in Pebble Beach, Calif. He had become linked to that championship because so many were played on courses he either designed or remodeled. Known as "Trent," he was a small, cherub-faced man, but his sometimes sadistic use of huge bunkers, ponds, creeks and undulating greens often angered the touring pros, especially during the U.S.

Open. Mr. Jones believed he was merely defending par against the evolution of golf equipment and the golf ball. "The shattering of par without a proper challenge is a fraud," he often said. "I make them play par." When Mr.

Jones redesigned the fourth hole at the Baltusrol Golf Club's Lower Course in Springfield, N.J., before the 1954 U.S. Open, some members thought the par-3 over a pond was unfair. He offered to play the hole along with Johnny Farrell, the club pro, and two members while other members watched. Playing from the 165-yard members tee, Farrell and the two members each hit their ball on the green. Mr.

Jones stepped up and swung his 4-iron. His ball landed on the green and rolled into the cup for a hole in one. Turning to the assembled members, he said: "Gentlemen, the hole is fair. Eminently fair." Over the years, Mr. Jones worked on 21 courses that would hold the U.

S. Open, notably Oakland Hills in Birmingham, in 1951. None of the world's best golfers broke par-70 that year until the final day when Ben Hogan, the winner, shot 67 and Clayton Haefner shot 69. At the presentation ceremony, Hogan said, "I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees." At a reception later, Hogan turned to Mr. Jones' wife, lone, and said, "If your husband had to play this course for a living, he'd be on the bread line." Mr.

Jones relished retelling both of Hogan's comments. At the 1970 U.S. Open at Hazeltine National, the touring pro Dave Hill, who had shot 75 and 69, publicly criticized Mr. Jones' design. Asked what the course lacked, Hill said, "Eighty acres of corn and a few cows." Asked what should be done to correct the course, he said, "Plow it up and start over." High winds had created high scores.

When the winds eased, Tony Jacklin won that Open with 281, 7-under par. Hill was second at 288, even-par. "Golf is a form of attack and counterattack," Mr. Jones often said. "It offers a golfer his per By Dave Anderson The New York Times Robert Trent Jones, the golf architect who designed or remodeled more than 500 courses, and who once made a hole in one to justify his redesign of a hole, died on Wednesday night at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

He was 93. Mr. Jones, who had been in poor health since having a stroke last summer, had retired to Florida. But for most of his career he worked out of offices in Montclair, N.J. In his seven decades as golf's most prolific architect, Mr.

Jones logged an estimated 8 million miles in creating more than 350 courses OBITUARIES the Church of the Resurrection. Family would like to express their gratitude to Independence Court of Mt.
