Father’s Day is a special time of year for us at OC Polo, as Heather and I are both lucky enough to play polo with our dads. We couldn’t ask for a better way to spend quality time together. We've played with our dads in tournament polo all over California, traveled to Argentina to play polo and gone on horse camping adventures. Sometimes we are on the same team and some times you may see a few elbows flying. But after the sweat dries (and the tempers cool), we always come together in the clubhouse to share a meal and talk about our horses and how good they played, despite our various shortcomings.See you at polo,
