Stuart Curran and Matt Curran took the winning trophies home in this years Beehive Guest Day. Scoring 46 points between them they came first in a very strong field. In 2nd place were Paul Prenderville and Russell Joseph with 44 points beating Glyn Evans and Derek Alaway into 3rd place on countback

With the final day of the Ryder Cup taking place at the same time, the Beehive Guest Day saw a fantastic turnout with 54 people taking part. The "Nearest the Pin" competition was won by Ilford Golf Clubs very own, the President, Pat Riordan. Stuart Curran's guest, Matt Curran, won the "Longest Drive" contest on the 17th with a mammoth drive of well over 300 yards (Tiger Woods average drive is 304 yards to put into perspective) and Jim Gallagher and guest, John Hayes won the par 3 competition with 18 points.

After the golf on the course, everyone shifted into the clubhouse to watch the last day of the Ryder Cup unfold. Unfortunately, Europe couldn't emulate what Stuart and Matt Curran had done earlier and went down 16½-11½ on US soil.

The Beehive would like to thank all attending members and their guests for their support and hope to see them again at the next meeting, The Captains Day, on Saturday, 25th October where a dinner and dance will be following the days golfing activites.
