BMW Polo Open
Sip on some champers and dress to the nines.
Overview
The earliest record of Polo being played as a sport stretches back to the 6th century BC in Persia, where it quickly became one of the more aristocratic pursuits. After a few centuries of play, the game spread across other parts of Asia - India, China and even Japan. It was there, in India, where British soldiers discovered the sport, and established it throughout Western society.
It may look rather fancy and intimidating, but the game is pretty simple. Each team tries to score as many goals as possible, using long mallets to wack the ball into the opposing team's goal.
Besides the adrenaline-inducing game itself, a day at the polo is also just darn fun, and pretty great excuse to get dressed to the nines and sip on champers while the sun's still out. See you there.
