The highlight of the Society Captains year is of course his Captains Day. The event was as usual very well attended and played in fine conditions on this very well prepared course. Mike McLean the long standing club professional was on hand to greet the Officials and members alike.

Spen Stanway, Society President, started all the players, The Captains wife manned and supplied delicious refreshments at the Halfway House, and Fred Pitt, Society Vice President, checked all the score cards and produced the results. As well as the main competition, Nearest the pin was won by Peter Blair (Pastures), and Longest Drive by Keith Mellors (Erewash Valley). Allegedly the ball hit a sprinkler head to go so far!

Overall winners were David Hoult and David Brown (Tapton Park) with a score of 42 points on Count back from Max Sharpe and Ray Twigg (Matlock). Third were the 2009 winners Harry Carlisle and Jeffrey Wheeler (Cavendish) with 41 points winning that position similarly on count back from Trevor Smedley and Norman Lancaster (Matlock).

Stan Baxter, a longstanding member of the Society then presented a framed drawing of the Chesterfield Club House to the Captain. This was of course most gratefully received.

The Captain Peter Brabbing (Chesterfield) thanked is home club for their support for him and the Society in affording the courtesy and as a sign of appreciation presented the home club Captain, John Guard, a cheque for his charity. It had been a most memorable day for him and in wishing all a safe journey home expressed his gratitude to the Society for the honour of holding this esteemed position within the Society.
