HIGHLIGHTS

Every polo match has the potential to be a special event, combining fierce competition and a festive atmosphere. That’s especially true at Myopia’s major USPA high-goal tournaments, plus the Tuckerman Cup 4-Goal, that are the highlight of the summer season. For proof, consider last year’s schedule, when the finals in four of the six major tournaments were decided by a single goal or fewer.

“The five major tournaments at Myopia are the highest level of polo played at the club and by far involve the most competitive and exciting polo,” says Myopia Polo Captain David Strouss. “By having these tournaments, we attract some of the best polo players to Myopia.

“What stood out to me was that six different teams won tournaments in 2022,” says Strouss. “In addition, almost all the finals were decided by one or two goals. This shows how incredibly competitive tournament play is at Myopia, with no single team or two dominating.”

Strouss also reserved special praise, and gratitude, for the professional players who anchored the teams: Manuel Mazzocchi, Felipe Viana, Nachi Viana, Federico Wuff and Ernesto “Rulu“ Trotz.
