IT WILL be a week to remember for one of Accrington's most famous golfers, Trevor Foster.

Foster, who led the Open at Royal Lytham in 1988, chalks up his 100th appearance for Lancashire tomorrow - he is the first East Lancashire golfer to reach his century. And, although this will be a proud day for him, he celebrated a special moment last week as three generations of the Foster family won a competition together.

Playing alongside his dad, Eric, 72, son Ryan, 14, and 11-year-old daughter Nicky, the quartet made up a team at Accrington Golf Club's captain's weekend which had to include a senior over 55, a male member, a junior and a lady.

"I have never in 33 years won a competition playing with my dad so I am pleased we did it," said a delighted Foster. "I'm just glad we got the chance to play together as my dad would never even come to watch me as he said he would put me off. But I made him come to the Harold Ryden this year - and I won it! I think we have broken that superstition now."

And he hopes his dad will be supporting him against Yorkshire at Pleasington tomorrow - and add to his already happy memories of his Lancashire days.

He said: "I remember making my Lancashire debut in 1985, when I was 25. My best memories are when we won the Champions of Champions in 1995. It was the first time Lancashire had won it in 38 years and afterwards we had an extra night in the hotel and celebrated with a few beers! The other good times are when I won the Lancashire Championship in 1987 at Lancaster and 1990 in Manchester. I never thought I would win it and it was fantastic.

"I am the first person in East Lancashire to reach 100 and am the 13th person in the history of Lancashire golf to reach 100 so it is a great achievement for me. There are a lot of people from Accrington coming to watch - I am just looking forward to it. And at night they have put on a special function for me. I have a lot of good friends from Yorkshire so I am glad we are playing them - there is no bitter rivalry."

Ryan and Nicky will be watching their dad - but they are already making their own waves in the golfing world. St Wilfred's pupil Ryan is down to a six handicap while Nicky, who starts at St Christophers next week, has been picked for a one-day England coaching course in September. She had played two Lancashire girls competitions and won them both and was put through for the England coaching by the Lancashire Ladies.

"She is only 11 and it is a great achievement for her," said her dad.
