Previous award I received, after warning of course (9)
I believe the answer is:
foregoing
'previous' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'award i received after warning of course' is the wordplay.
'award' becomes 'gong' (I've seen this before).
'received' indicates putting letters inside.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'warning of course' becomes 'fore' (used to warn of airborne balls on a golf course).
'gong' enclosing 'i' is 'going'.
'going' put after 'fore' is 'FOREGOING'.
(Another definition for foregoing that I've seen is " Previous".)
