Hughes drove off at the first tee in her new role last week under the shadow of a large Chinese Dragon, borrowed for the day from Lians restaurant in Witham.
Hughes, who is Malaysian-Chinese, was also greeted by the sound of symbols, as her fellow club members marked her inauguration as captain in flamboyant fashion.
"It was a total surprise to me and I did not suspect a thing," said Hughes, who plays off a handicap of 12.
"It was a memorable start for me as captain."
