They call it the "sport of kings." Today is the final match of the U.S. Open Championship at the International Polo Club Palm Beach. If you are someone like me and do not know much about the game, here is a digest. There are four members on a team. Each player is rated. The total rating of the team is its handicap goal. The ratings differ slightly in different countries (from -2 to 10). The sport is dominated by players from Argentina. There are 6-8 periods in a game, called "chukkas" or "chukkers," 7 1/2-minute each. During the halftime, the spectators are invited to the field for divot stomping. The winner is team Valiente. This is my first polo game I ever attended. It's 90ºF, and I definitely would not mind some Veuve Clicquot. Cheers! Wellington, Fla. April 19, 2015
