Trenton Weekes

Trenton Weekes has contributed more than two decades of service to the administration and development of golf in Barbados and across the Caribbean. He was inducted into the Caribbean Golf Association Hall of Fame at the 2025 Caribbean Amateur Golf Championships (CAGC) in Barbados.

He joined the Barbados Golf Association (BGA) in 2001 as an ordinary member and was later elected Secretary, serving in that role for 16 years. During his tenure, he introduced key administrative improvements, including the implementation of the USGA GHIN Handicap System in Barbados in 2007, at a time when scorecards were manually collected and entered hole by hole.

In 2014, Trenton was elected Secretary of the Caribbean Golf Association (CGA), serving for six years. In 2018, he was elected Tournament Coordinator of the CGA, with responsibility for the setup, execution, results generation, and publication of results for all CGA championships. During this period, he was mentored by Cesar Rivera, a Rules Official with extensive technical expertise.

In 2019, Trenton achieved USGA Advanced Certification in the Rules of Golf and currently serves as a referee at CGA, LAAC, Barbados, European Legends, and regional championships. In 2020, he was certified as a GHIN Administrator, led the upgrade to the World Handicap System (WHS), and played a central role in transitioning five local clubs to the updated GHIN platform. That same year, he introduced Golf Genius in Barbados to support the administration and execution of local club and CGA championships.

In 2022, Trenton achieved Golf Genius Certification and completed additional professional development, including a WHS/USGA Course Rating workshop in Panama. In subsequent years, he completed course re-rating exercises with a team for four local clubs and is currently pursuing USGA Course Rating Certification.

His early development in golf administration was guided by Birchmore Griffith, former President of the Barbados Golf Association. In later years, he benefited from the mentorship of Sidney Wolf, current President of the Caribbean Golf Association.

The Caribbean Golf Association recognises Trenton Weekes for his sustained commitment, technical leadership, and significant contributions to strengthening golf administration and championship standards across the region.
