A simple question: One problem was fixed a couple of years ago when USPA started rating players handicaps twice a year rather than annually. This helps to cut down on "ringers", players playing above their handicap for a time. BUT, what do you do about the pros who don't travel and the club won't touch their handicaps? This drives the cost of polo up at some clubs and pros aren't playing their rating, very unfair to the patrons who are paying their salary. So what's a player to do?
Club News: The big news from the Kingston Polo Club is that Paul Lalor, Secretary of the Jamaica Polo Association and the Kingston Polo Club, is engaged to his long time Trinidadian girlfriend Heidi Stollmeyer. No date set for wedding, but the stag party was held in early January (before the polo season gets into full swing!). We want photos!!! The Kingston Club also reports that after several months of rain and water settled on both polo fields they played their first chukkers last in late December at both Kingston Polo Club and St. Ann Polo Club. The Jamaica crowd completely missed their "green horse" season because of the rain. Gee, and the clubs in the southeast mostly missed their fall season because of the drought. Go figure.
Always a stellar venue, this year is no exception for International Polo Club. Fan favorite Adolfo Cambiaso is returning this year to defend his titles in the U.S. Open and USPA Gold Cup with his Crab Orchard team.
Six other players with a 10 ranking are competing with their teams in an effort to stop Adolfito and his polo dominance.

We have to mention another favorite 10 of ours - Tim O'Connor is back after an absence from the polo scene. Welcome home, Tim!
