Apes Hill Polo Team Wins International Titles

Apes Hill polo team

Sir Charles Williams was disgusted. He was attending the final of the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup and was dismayed to see that not a single player in the final hailed from England. To Sir Charles, an accomplished polo player in his own right, this was simply unacceptable. And thus in 2006 the brainchild of the Apes Hill Club Barbados polo team was born.

 

            By 2008, the Apes Hill Club Barbados team, with all-English players, prevailed in overtime at the prestigious Vivari Queen’s Cup and the team was honored to receive the trophy from Her Majesty The Queen.

    Looking Back at 2011 With the close of the President’s Cup and Tiger’s first win in the Silly Season, it seems appropriate to look back at 2011. These may or may not be the most important stories, but these are the “Things that make me go ‘hmmmm’.” Sale of Acushnet Since my day job is that of Securities Analyst and I cover the golf equipment industry, this was clearly a matter of focus and attention.
