Polo anyone?


Last Sunday our family had the oportunity to attend a polo match at the Upatoi polo club (I personally had no idea that Columbus even HAD a polo club!) Dave and two other guys from his work were asked to do the flag ceremony at the opening...it wasn't pretty. LOL


First, one of the guys wore his regular hat instead of his beret, then this same guy was in charge of bringing the flags and instead of the American flag he brought their battallion flag! So they sent him back to the barracks to get the right flag. This caused the start time of the match to be delayed by about 10 minutes and when he never showed up, Dave and the other guy went ahead and did the ceremony using a flag the polo club had hanging on their bowery. It was too short so the GA state flag pole they were using had to be adjusted...basically both flags ended up being too short for the belts the guys were wearing. Because they were so flustered by Sgt Greene's screw-up, they forgot to practice or talk about what they were doing and the whole ceremony was....well, not good...LOL


Anyway, here's a picture of the girl's with one of the horses. I also have a video of the "ify" flag ceremony that Dave MIGHT let me post...or not...LOL
