Trevor Hall of Fame
Introduced in 2017 by the newly established Trevor High Council. Designed to honour trevorers who display all the qualities synonymous with our great event. The first four inductees were announced in 2017.
THE OTHER PLAYERS
The lists are divided into two: firstly current trevorers that have played in recent years and still very much in Trevor captains plans for selection, then past trevorers that have, for various reasons, fallen by the wayside. Hopefully, in the future, some of these past trevorers will make a welcome return.
Listed in order of their debut year.

CURRENT TREVORERS
PAST TREVORERSGareth Evans (Gazza) OHAHampton 4-5 Sept 1985
Shortest time as a Hamptonian. 3 Hudson House, home of Gazza, is where the Trevor came to pass LT's Golfing Trevor: Obviously current form unknown since last outing in 1994. Now busy crashing mountain bikes down the slopes in NZ!! When trevoring, a mighty hitter with sublime short game. Occasionally fiery on course that could affect his general rhythm to the detriment of his game, particularly when the ROW boys managed to get into his head!! When calm, a strong player. Sorely missed by all. Matt Chaytor (Irritant) ROWLeicester Poly 1985-89
LT's Golfing Trevor: One of the more interesting trevorers to have walked the hallowed courses of the Trevor. Spent his whole round putting himself and his golf down when in fact, his game was far better than his own perception. Then again, this philsophy is one that transcended into his general day to day lifestyle - never happier than when unhappy!! Good swing, solid game, better than handicap but mental fragility was often his downfall. Had a couple of strong Trevors when, obviously having taken a happy pill before the off. Questionable throughout his Trevor career, whether he got in the faces of his own team more than the opposition, the enigma of the man who duly earned his nickname as the Irritant!! Kai Whitter (Kai) ROWFoveaux Street, Sydney Sept 92-Mar 93
LT's Golfing Trevor: One of the original trevorers with possibly the best swing of all; simple, efficient and rarely ever broke down. A litte lack of length and occasionally suspect putting stroke being the only two small deficencies that held back this "machine-like" trevorer. A bit of a quiet assassin on the course, a man of few words, but with a dry ascerbic wit that knew how to wind up any opponent he faced. In the early days, one of the real strong performers that were a part of the early halcyon days of ROW dominance and another of the originals sorely missed since his early retirement. Simon Havens (Hippo) ROWCaptain's Pick in 2000
LT's Golfing Trevor: Introduced by Soffers and a welcome addition playing in the late 90's early 00's. A long-term shoulder injury meant missing a couple of Trevors and since fallen by the wayside as other commitments have meant the Trevor no longer features in his life. When a player, like many a bit of a curate's egg , sometimes brilliant, sometimes decidedly average but when things clicked in, a game good enough to take on any trevorer. Always popular player to play with and against as one of the good guys on the golf course, despite the heat of battle of The Trevor. Jon Hickey (Big Dog) ROWCaptain's Pick in 1999
LT's Golfing Trevor: A silent assassin with a very strong Trevor record. Superbly brain-washed by his senior team mates into creating a burning desire to stick one up any Hamptonian he faced, highlighted after a memorable win over LT in 2006 (a rare singles loss in 10 years) led to a chorus of "Who let the Dog Out" (possibly the only trevorer with his own song - LT) on the 18th green - probably never been heard before on the hallowed turf at Bowood, never will be again!! Calmness personified, smooth swing, silky touch around the green, one of the best putters - no wonder he was so strong off his handicap. Geoff Sage (Sagey) ROWCaptain's Pick in 2003
LT's Golfing Trevor: Another name introduced from the Cider Country, a giant of a man with a big golf game. Played from mid 2000's before losing interest in the Trevor and what it offers - his loss. That said often seemed to pick up the draw from hell and stopped enjoying the challenges that these matches offered so hung up his Trevor boots at the end of the naughties decade. When playing, an awesome golf game that had the whole package and his results generally backed up the strength of this golf. No doubt the best golfer to adorn the colours of the ROW and missed by his team, as losing such quality left (quite literally) a big pair of shoes to be filled. |
John Roberts (JR)Captain's Pick ROW 2016
Bosman Transfer OHA 2021 LT's golfing Trevor: This recent recruit took over the unwanted accolade as the most senior trevorer making the OHA vets look like spring chickens. Having played occasionally when younger, he is now fully committed to his new passion with the joys of retirement allowing time to commit to his golf and with great success. There are not too many sexagenarians who can lay claim to having a falling handicap, most mortals are going in the other direction. A game borne out of great consistency, generally very straight off the tee and a tidy short game. Already. arguably the best at course management, knowing his limitations and playing to them. Perhaps this is where the dividends of age come to the fore, although those who have known him for years may question this logic!! A steely determination to win and never short of the odd barbed comment to get into opponent's heads. Steve Simmonite (Simmo)Captain's Pick 2017
LT's golfing Trevor: Another boyo from the Valleys becoming the tenth player to represent the ROW from the Old Land of my Fathers. A great addition into the Trevor flock already much loved by both teams thanks to a cheery disposition and great attitude on and off the course. His golf is a model of consistency and can withstand the rigours of the heaviest night in the bar, many other trevorers do not possess such powers of recovery!! A hard man to beat and, to date, already possesses one of the best Trevor records with no real chinks in the armour. |
