Brookfield then told him "sorry to hear that bud" before proceeding to aim his stream at the victim's back.
The sick prankster posted footage of the stunt on Snapchat on Boxing Day.
Brookfield has now been jailed for 14 weeks after pleading guilty to common assault.
He was also ordered to pay Peter £500 compensation, £85 in costs and a £154 surcharge.
Jailing him, District Judge Mark Layton said: "Mr Barton engaged you in polite conversation telling you he had prostate cancer.
"Most people would have retaliate with kind words and sympathy."
Llanelli Magistrates' Court heard how the vile prank unfolded at Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club.
Prosecutor Lucy Mansfield said: "This occurred on Boxing Day this year at the Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club within the toilets.

"The defendant entered the toilets and has spoken to the complainant and the complainant explained that he has recently received a prostate cancer diagnosis.
"Whilst this was happening the defendant proceeded to urinate on the complainant and while this was occurring video was posted online."
Peter only realised what had happened when the footage was flagged to him.
The tennis club said he was "understandably upset" and confirmed Brookfield had been banned for life.
In a victim impact statement, Peter said: "I couldn't believe that someone could do that to another person."
He said his son saw the footage and was disgusted when he heard a member of the public turn to his wife and say: "Tthat's the man from Facebook."
The wedding DJ was reported to police after the video was shared multiple times and he was arrested.
He later posted an apology on Facebook before deleting his account.
Brookfield said: "I'm apologising to you all regarding my actions this evening. I'm deeply sorry for those who I have offended and if I could take it all back I would.
"It's just something me and the boys do when we are drunk and until watching the video back I didn't realise that the nice gentleman next to me was going through health problems."
