DUTIES OF THE SPECTATOR!

During our playing season,  the Augusta Polo Club  welcomes  all spectators and enthusiasts who enjoy spending an afternoon outside.
Entry to all games is free unless an organized tournament is taking place. We encourage you to bring along your garden chairs, picnic basket and a sporting spirit. Unlike most sports,  polo requires active spectator participation.

Before leaving for a game, you will want to prepare a picnic, pack your camera and bring your binoculars, remembering of course that you’ll be spending time outdoors, therefore appropriate outdoor dress is necessary for your comfort. If you don’t have time to pack your picnic, several restaurants (offering take-out service), are located nearby the polo fields. Once you arrive at the game, be sure to park at least ten yards back from the side of the field and not at the end of the field. The objective is to park by the game, not in it. Now you are ready to participate in the game. First open your picnic and remember the following points:

1. Keep your eye on the ball and the horses. Action frequently extends ten yards beyond the edge of the field. Many unwary spectators have narrowly escaped from a changing horse.

2. Pets MUST be on a leash at all times  or rein and children CLOSE at hand.  While horse nuggets are acceptable field objects, doggie-doolies absolutely are not.  Please come prepared to clean up after your dog (s) and remember to place your, “Doggie- doolie”,  bag in the garbage bins.

3. The stables and horse trailer areas are off limits to spectators. Please respect this and keep your distance from these areas for your own safety.

4. Now for the funpart – you get to walk on the turf. To golfers this is known as replacing the divots. After the third and sixth chukkers you will be ready to walk off your picnic. So take a stroll and help maintain the field.

5. Please return all polo balls hit out of bounds to the umpires, goal judges or other club officials.
