\n Pleasington Golf Club hosted elite senior amateurs from around the country earlier this month for the inaugural Trevor Foster Memorial Trophy.\n<\/p>\n
\n The tournament was organised to honour Trevor, who died in December 2024, and celebrate both his immense on-course talents and him as a person, much-loved in the Lancashire golfing community.\n<\/p>\n
\n Trevor represented Lancashire, England and Europe Seniors from 2016, and won the 2018 Senior Amateur Men\u2019s Championship and 2022 English Senior Men\u2019s Championship.\n<\/p>\n
\n He was also awarded the Silver Medal as top amateur at the 2021 Senior Open at Sunningdale.\n<\/p>\n

\n The two-round tournament at Pleasington, held on October 1 and 2, saw a strong field gather, with Craig Cuthbert of Stand Golf Club, near Bury, emerging victorious with 69 Stableford points.\n<\/p>\n
\n From next year the event will be part of the England Seniors Order of Merit, bringing elite seniors back to Pleasington to honour Trevor on an annual basis.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mark Bleasdale, general manager at Pleasington Golf Club, said: \u201cTrevor was a hugely respected figure in Lancashire and English amateur golf, and it is a privilege for Pleasington to host a tournament in his memory.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cHaving represented Pleasington Golf Club at the highest level, his achievements and character left a lasting legacy, and it was fantastic to see such a strong field come together to celebrate his life.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWith the event joining the England Seniors Order of Merit from 2027, we look forward to seeing the trophy and Trevor\u2019s legacy continue to grow.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Trevor\u2019s family chose mental health charity Mind to be supported by the event, with \u00a3900 raised during the two days.\n<\/p>\n
\n He worked as a greenkeeper at Accrington Golf Club for more than 40 years, and played both there and at Pleasington.\n<\/p>\n
\n Trevor, from Oswaldtwistle, died aged 64 on December 28, 2024, and is survived by his wife Debbie, two children Nikki and Ryan, and grandchildren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pleasington Golf Club hosted elite senior amateurs from around the country earlier this month for the inaugural Trevor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":806355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-806354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=806354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/806354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/806355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=806354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=806354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=806354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
