and that is where the big boys are at now in one of the big three called the Tortugas Open from well this year 32 to 40 as Open there is Open no handicaps just flat Polo for decades it was only 6 teams for this one now it is 8 teams and there is a difference already good or bad is yet to see lopsided scores say it maybe a learning experience but will it work, is the question will fans and Players enjoy this format ? I guess is really the question . so far after 4 games the difference in scores has been 44 goals an average of 11 goals difference but really worse than that 2 of the games were 16 and 14 goals difference that might not be to exciting for many players or fans to like when if done on handicap the most goals given would be 8 so something is not happening mainly horses I would guess . The 40 goal teams La Dolphina and Ellerstina look very strong but Las Mojitas maybe one to watch @ 36 goals they won by 12. To early to say but it will be fun to watch. Here state side Polo is still going in a lot of places Santa Barbara is winding down but Houston is waiting on Sun with no rain and Aiken is in full flight and Grand Champions should be about ready to roll . The Winter season is looking great with Indio both clubs breaking out new schedules and lots of action and Florida with the Ass. finally booting the 26 out has been swarmed with teams for 20 and 22 which will put a lot of life back into the game now if we could just get a little more progress in helping grow the sport on the Men”s side by making it a Patron flavor to improve there Polo we must make them more of the game and the way to do this is limit horses as Javier Tanoria say’s limit all players to 6 horses per game and you will see how fast we can get back to the Busch’s and Orthwein’s and Uihlien’s Gose’s being 4 to 6 goal patrons because now it is just mano-mano & Money controlling the no grow new players just write the check and leave the ball. This and build American players by giving them a chance to play . We are helping that a bit but it needs to grow faster while there is some talent still there.
