Virginia Beach is HOT, HOT, HOT!

What a scorcher! The hot temperatures couldn't keep the fans away, as the sidelines of Whitney Field were packed for another finals Sunday! Meeting up on the field again were Duck Hill and Virginia Beach. Although, VA Beach won the game, the MVP for the day was Del Walton of Duck Hill. Phil Staples had the Best Playing Pony with his 4th chukker horse "62". As we tried to follow the one cloud in the sky that provided some shade, we mingled with the spectators and enjoyed the view from behind the boards. We saw a record number of umbrellas that were blocking the sun instead of rain drops (like the previous two Sundays!)



We also picked up a few new polo terms created by some of the younger Sunday regulars. They were happy to do a little "divot diving" during halftime and cheering on their favorite player, "Chucky 3 Sticks" Bostwick. Hopefully their harmless heckling from the sidelines wasn't too distracting to the players. This fun group can also be seen after the games every Sunday playing a few rounds of bocce ball!



Cay Young was wearing the perfect attire for the hot summer Sunday, which is why we chose her for the Best Dressed award sponsored by Equine Divine. We were digging her stylish aviator sunglasses with a green floral strapless sundress...perfect to even out those pesky shoulder tan lines! Kudos for being fashion forward with a functional and cool look!

Through rain or shine, this week's Polo Pooch of the Day, is always on the sidelines. Our favorite doberman, Buck, has been coming to polo all spring season and we finally awarded him for his continuous support! Buck and his owner Randy were thrilled to receive a doggy goodie bag from the CMP gals. Randy told us that he has been bringing Buck to the games to get him accustomed to horses, having just moved to Aiken recently and being unfamilar with life in horse country. We are proud of his progress so far! Keep up the good work, Buck!



It was a Sunday for rewarding our faithful polo regulars, as we gave Lydia Delrossi a gift certificate from One Hundred Laurens for having the Best Tailgating Spot. Ms. Delrossi knows what good presentation is and isn't afraid to show it with a table adorned with cheese, strawberries, and one of the most important items..."the bubbly!"



You know the deal...same place, same time. It's always recommended to bring your umbrellas, tents, pooches, wine, and friends. Sunday polo is a great way to spend the day with family and friends because you never know when the CMP gals will spot you! There are tailgating spots still available for the remainder of the spring and all of fall season. The spots are only $400 and also include a social membership. This means tent access during and after the game for complimentary cold ones and delicious food. Special thanks again to all our contest sponsors!

Until next Sunday, Marco...
POLO!
