Unlike the polo match in “Pretty Woman,” this club has a casual, informal atmosphere, so don’t feel obligated to wear your best Kentucky Derby hat or your high heels. (Flats are better for stomping divots anyway.)
We also need to carry out what we carry in, and to use Port-a-Potties -- no handwashing facilities, so you might want to bring hand sanitizer/hand wipes. The game will be at the polo grounds on County Road VV, west of Merton and north of Hartland and will be $11 per person.
