Friday the 28 th of August was the best game to date @ SB Polo . Why ? Less whistles red flags cussing and general polo etiquette. Polo players sometimes seem like uneducated morons much like many sports but the real Polo World is a game of speed danger and style. We are really playing for the game , yes we are payed to play but the financial gain is seldom on your results maybe it will get better with a win but it is what it is . It is optional for Patron unless previous agreement .
Thursday was a perfect example of how the game can be played and why people love to see it usually lately if not a polo relative NOT THERE but yesterday was 2 teams playing Polo for the game . It was Lucchese vs Wildcat and John Muse has little problem with controlling behavior and seldom does L get red flagged the Wildcats and Ryan Gilbertson are new and had to replace a 8 goal quarterback so were in trouble from the get go . Paco was injured so Joesph Stuart said he would set down so they could do a double substitute and did because he wanted to win for Patron they did and the game was on they did not win but came within a goal but no practice and basically no continuity Guilty they were very competitive and I might say on a very weak field but it was fun to watch and good Polo.
Now we face reality ERG will play Lucchese for the second year in the finals it will be an ugly game I am sure and it will most likely be the last 20 goal game ever played in SB with current operations and that is sad .
Why in my opinion and everyone has one . We are the best event nationally in the West coast and do you see it in the press? Do we have management from the top ? Do we have world class fields ? I can answer that NO if you were there Thur. 1 game this week .
I would gamble to say this is worse than it has ever been food in clubhouse ,polo and now the fields , I think it is time to buy a Mirror We have to change or DIE .
I love SB and really Carp and I do think it is time to clear the top and bring it back , It may be to late but with a polo manager and a reasonable front office I think it is there , we have lost 7 teams in 2 years I do not think I am a genius but I can add and subtract . If you have a better idea let me know.
Polo People hear is a question for you ? How many people said ERG was terrible in behavior because they are one hell of a team? I would bet 95 % of the people bad mouthing Scott and ERG are at his party , so do not blame polo look in the mirror . You are the reason SB POLO is dieing .
