What an incredible day we had hosting the best young players from across the region in the Midlands’ Schools Championships.

It was a pleasure to welcome the players, their families, and coaches and officials to Chesterfield Golf Club.

With the course set up as a solid test the scoring was superb.

Nottinghamshire’s George Cordall emerged victorious in the boys’ competition with a three-under-par gross score of 68.

The girls’ winner was Derbyshire’s own Isobell Kelly. Playing off the white competition tees, Isobell recorded a brilliant score of 74 to win by two shots from her Derbyshire colleague, Imogen Rafferty.

We’re delighted to have signed a five-year sponsorship deal to extend our relationship with leading motor dealership Vertu Toyota Chesterfield.

If you’ve played golf on the main course recently you may have noticed the striking new Vertu Toyota Chesterfield branding on each of the 18 tee box signs.

Vertu have also exhibited their vehicles at a number of high-profile tournaments which we have staged over the last few weeks and will continue to do so.

Company representatives will have the opportunity to use our clubhouse facilities for meetings and to entertain clients.

And updated Vertu Toyota Chesterfield branding features prominently on the main sign by the clubhouse entrance, which the company has sponsored for a number of years.

It is great to build on the strong relationship which we already have with the team at Vertu Toyota Chesterfield.

Coming hot on the heels of the recent deal we announced with financial firm Sutton McGrath Hartley the latest agreement again speaks volumes about the way our club is viewed by the local business community and brings a further financial boost.

We’re delighted to have signed a three-year sponsorship deal with leading financial firm Sutton McGrath Hartley.

Members and visitiors to the club are now greeted by a number of striking new welcome signs on and around the entrance drive which display the SMH branding.

In addition, over the coming weeks all members will be issued with a new membership card carrying the SMH branding as part of the arrangement.

The card will be used to operate the clubhouse door entry system, bar tills and competition entry terminals using contactless technology.

A charity golf day will be hosted at Chesterfield Golf Club by SMH in August and the company’s representatives will have the opportunity to use our clubhouse facilities for meetings and to entertain clients.

The agreement, initially over three years with the option to extend, brings significant financial input each year to benefit members and helps our continued investment in course and clubhouse.

SMH has a base on Saltergate, Chesterfield, with a head office in Sheffield, and further offices in Buxton, Rotherham, Knaresborough and Wakefield.

They offer a wide range of financial expertise across their family of companies to save clients having to engage multiple advice firms. These include chartered accountants, chartered tax advisers, chartered financial planners, and chartered legal executives.

In addition, SMH offers independent commercial finance and residential mortgage brokering companies, helping clients access the funding they need for personal or business purposes.

Attracting a quality partner like SMH speaks volumes about the esteem with which our club is held in the local business community and we look forward to working closely together for mutual benefit.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP: Jonathon Dickens, Partner of Sutton McGrath Hartley, and Mike Aves, Chairman of Chesterfield Golf Club’s Board of Directors celebrate the new three-year sponsorship agreement.

Looking out for our young golfers

Our junior section is thriving with over 50 members and is often held up as an operating model to others.

A key component of this is our commitment to provide a safe and fun environment for youngsters to find their way in golf and enjoy the game.

Earlier this week we were delighted to receive the SafeGolf accreditation from England Golf after submitting a raft of information which showcased the procedures we have in place.

Our submission also demonstrated all necessary safeguarding checks and training had been conducted for those working with juniors.

What is SafeGolf?

SafeGolf is a partnership of UK golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working and volunteering in the sport of golf.

The SafeGolf partnership consists of members from the golfing bodies across Great Britain and Ireland and has been established to help golf respond to the issue of child protection in sport. Its mission is to safeguard the welfare of children and young people, as well as adults at risk, in the sport of golf.

SafeGolf is firstly a website – www.safegolf.org – through which anyone with a concern about the welfare of a player, or the behaviour or practice of a coach, volunteer, organiser, parent, or player, can contact the lead safeguarding officer at their national governing body.

Secondly, it is the safeguarding standard England Golf promotes to all its affiliated clubs to ensure they provide a safe and positive experience to children and young people whilst playing golf. The PGA is also using the standards to apply to all its PGA professional coaches.
