Sunday July 22 2018 may just sound like another day but it really is NOT. From Golf to Polo it really is a big day as we all may know the final round of the OPEN yes the Open which is the British Open ends tomorrow and a lot of yanks in the hunt but that is GOLF . Also in the UK it is finals of the British Open Polo and well there are no yanks left but the English have a huge day ahead as not expected 4 Englishmen take on the big boys all 6 goals and less well one is less at 4 goals as EL RAMANSO with Charlie Hanbury Ollie Cudmore James Biem and James Harper have slugged there way through the best and toughest tournament in the World of Polo and try to do something that just does not happen a no Argentine team but they will meet two of the best Argies tomorrow Juan Nero and Pelon Stirling who is actually from Uruguay if he plays maybe replaced by Polito Pieres either way Juan and Pelon are on the La Dolphina team who have about 35 of the last 37 Open tournaments in Argentina just do not know . It should be a dandy where they will also meet another English young gun named Watson in real life . On the East coast in the finals of the Silver Cup it was Dillon Bacon and Huntsman stopping old friend Mariano Gonzalez and Postage Stamp Farm in the finals, in Mashomack Polo in NY it is a California Boy doing well as Jared Sheldon continues to do well and seems to put his name on some big cups . Crossing the continent in Wyo. at Ski Johnston’s heaven and it is that the ultimate place to play Polo in the Summer amazing beauty in the Rockies there is not much else u can say. My Son and Parrots Head lost to my favorite Vodka TITOS a former Polo players son Tito Beveridge is the main man in this World of fine beverages . Then head a little farther West and quite a ways South to Santa Barbara Polo club and you have the Robert Skeene finals now 16 goals still exciting and still some big time players Jeff Hall, Lucas Criado who will not be opponents Sunday but who are two of the big sticks here . .
Jeff Hall and Lucchese with patron John Muse listed as questionable after a earlier crash is not for sure take on Big Ben Solemoni who is playing as a makeup team for Ben as he made it to the semis of the Gold Cup in the UK Ben flew back Thursday so he could play semis but his pros were to tired so he used Pipi vercilino and Geromino Obrergon who is actually on the team and they won against F& M to go to the finals so should be entertaining and it will be entertaining to c who plays . John Muse made a mistake many Patrons and amateurs make and I think it is a management problem maybe not but last weekend I seen John on a horse warming up for a chukkar which was not warmed up and very easily could have been a huge problem and was thinking then this is not good and now I hear this and wonder if it was same horse . This is a simple suggestion I know we used to do it , well so what we were a lot younger and a lot more flexible and maybe a lot dumber but could get away with it. Well now is now we cannot look at history to many good men have been lost there lives recently because we are not like wine do not get better with age ! We get HURT and the help need to c it DOES NOT HAPPEN
Just a thought
see ya
