    Are there polo fields closer in? Are the matches open to the general public, or at least to whoever feels like coughing up the price of admission?

    Actually, any info that anyone might have and care to share about polo around here would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    A washout?

    Flexible Horn,

    Its rumored that prince Harry was a bad boy while he was in Argentina.

    Very possibly he was caught out Mongering.

    He was planned by the Crown to spend a month at an Argentine Polo ranch just killing time before he was to enter some Birtish military academy.

    Well after a week or so he was wisked out of the country under questonable circumstances. No real reason was ever given by the Buckingham Palace as to why Harry left the country.

    If Harry is a Monger, he's a stand up guy, one of us.

    By the way polo it's pretty expensive, you'll need one horse per chukker and consider around 100k (USD) yearly only for mantainance (in Argentina) plus the horses itself, besides that issue it's a lovely sport. I've made a couple of videos available online http://www.barts.com.ar/barts/flash_...?recordID=polo and this one I like it more but it's not only about polo http://www.barts.com.ar/barts/flash_...dID=tango_polo and here is more info and article

    oops, by the way you may buy tickets in advance for 2006 polo championship, it's a must see in BA. I know a guy who sale tickets, yes, It's me! http://www.barts.com.ar/barts/events.php
    Prince Harry I know has played polo in Argentina, and my good friend Exon was rubbing shoulders with Sarah Ferguson when he attended a polo match in BsAs.

    I'm surprised that us 'Brits' are banned, and by the way its the FALKLANDS not some other name you called it, check any atlas.

    StrayLight,

    Argentina has the finest Polo in the world. Course CockSucker Mongers, and the dumb MotherFuckers that post here don't have a clue.

    Its sorta like having "High Tea" with Miss Sol, who would know what an experience it is unless you know what it is.

    Sure, in Palermo. The polo grounds are right near the race track, off Libertador around like 4500 or so. On the other side of Libertador from the race track. Exon went. PM him.

    Polo

    Anyone know anything about polo?

    I was taken by chance to the Jockey Club in San Isidro (sp?) a week or so ago to see a polo match. Up until that day, I was so fucking stupid I thought they hit the ball with the round end of the mallet. LOL!

    Anyway, I had a good time. It was a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours, and there were lots and lots of good looking chicas. So I was thinking I might want to get a bit more involved as a spectator.

    The problem is, I think going out to the Jockey Club on a regular basis is a bit out of my league.

    Are there polo fields closer in? Are the matches open to the general public, or at least to whoever feels like coughing up the price of admission?

    Actually, any info that anyone might have and care to share about polo around here would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
