Social Activities

Polo anyone?  Did you know that Houston has one of the oldest Polo clubs in the South?  The Houston Polo Club is celebrating its 80th Anniversary this year and has been voted as one of the top polo clubs in the United States according to the Robb Report.  

 

 We were the guests of the Elizabeth Himes with the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, sponsors for the club this year.  After a little white wine the first match started.  Who would have thought Ashton was such polo fan – he kept an active score sheet and was familiar with some of the players.  In looking through the guide, we found that several of our clients actively played polo at the club and others were supporters.  It is always fun to find out what other activities your clients are involved in outside of Scuba.

 

Between the two matches, we were treated to wine from a small California winery, a tour of two Jaguar convertibles and a Rang Rover all mid-field.  The wine was nice and the cars were beautiful.  Ann really wants a Jaguar convertible so this did not really help squash that desire…

 We followed the Polo match with dinner and drinks (mostly Iced Tea).  It was a fun day and definitely different from what we normally do – Polo anyone?
