 TAILGATE, LADIES' HAT and "TOP CHAP" CONTESTS
We hold contests for best tailgate, best ladies' hat and the "Top Chap" award at our annual polo cup match, held this year on September 6th.

​The "Top Chap"  winner needed to be the most stylishly dressed gentleman  during the divot stomp. It was won for 2025 (as it had been in 2024!), in ineffable style, by Rudy Saunders.
Free bubbly from the center of the field was available at half time - if you divot stomped. Given only to adults of legal drinking age, of course. Cheers!
Note! The 2026 polo match will be held on Saturday, September 12th, at the Hunt Club
