We just returned from a superb trip to the Spring and Fall polo
capital of polo of the USA, Aiken South Carolina. After three weeks
of competition in the 6-goal tournament, Mary's team emerged
undefeated though all regular games and the finals. It was an
outstanding performance that ended with a decisive finals victory of
7-4 with three goals scored by Mary. Mary built the team around her
and top pro Gabriel Crespo; then added the highly successful sponsor
of the Golden Zebras Polo Team, Jay Fetner and his pro, J.B.
Olinger. The combined Potomac Polo/Golden Zebras team was aptly
named the Potomac Zebras and it meshed well. It was a pleasure to
watch the fast games. We'll have photos in upcoming newsletters.
Brother Joe Muldoon III is also busy playing polo on the road. He's
in Palm Beach, FL this fall at the Grand Champions Polo Club. Joe
is competing throughout the months of October and November at the 14-
goal level with some of the top players in the USA. We wish him the
best and look forward to hearing all his stories when he returnes
for the Thanksgiving holiday.
I'm still on the bench recovering from my surgery but look forward
to playing again in 2008 and if I get clearance from my doctor,
acting as umpire for part of Potomac's fall/winter arena season.
Potomac Polo School resumes this week on Thursday. Please call the
school for times. The Potomac Polo Club starts its arena season
this coming weekend. Stay tuned for more announcements.
