Fine & Country takes the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you.

NEWS Expanding the brand At the beginning of April 2015, Fine & Country opened its sixth office in Portugal. Fine & Country Comporta is located in Comporta village, south of Lisbon in the heart of Portugal’s Costa Azul Blue Coast. It is the third office in Portugal to open within the last 12 months, following offices in Chiado and Estoril. Fine & Country Comporta will be led by Regional Manager, Rui Tomaz, who has been working in the Comporta area for years.

NEWS EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The Comporta showroom, which is located in a rustic-chic refurbished barn, will specialise in the marketing and sales of luxury residential and tourist real estate in the Blue Coast area. The properties in the area range from modern, fully-furnished apartments on the Troia Peninsula for as little as 350,000€ through to luxury sea-view villas for up to 1,500,000€. The Blue Coast is a 30 minute drive from Lisbon International Airport and is becoming the destination of choice for English, French and Portuguese buyers looking for a holiday property with a real Portuguese flavour and prices that cannot be beaten in other resort areas of Portugal. Owners of the business, Charles Roberts and Nuno Durão launched the Comporta office following a successful two years for Fine & Country Portugal. Nuno comments, “Prices in Portugal dropped by up to 30% with the economic crisis. We have now reached a platform whereby prices have stabilised. There is no increase but there is more confidence in the market and for the first time in over five years we are seeing the international market returning.” Charles adds: “Every day, the Fine & Country brand is becoming more well-known in Portugal. The tremendous marketing we get from Fine & Country Head Office helps raise brand awareness worldwide. We have ambitions to brand further offices in these regions over the next few months.”

UK growth The Fine & Country network is also experiencing expansion in the UK, with the opening of two new offices. Fine & Country Hitchin opened its doors in February 2015. The agency is located in Hitchin town centre on Hermitage Road, representing the brand’s expansion in the Home Counties. Neil Wise, Managing Director, says: “We chose Fine & Country because of the size of the network and its credibility. It’s well-recognised and trusted as the best estate agency specialising in the top end of the property market. No other agent in our area is currently offering the services that Fine & Country can, including professional photography and brochures, national advertising in The Sunday Times, The Times and The Telegraph, a dedicated design studio and PR team and a direct route to the London market through their Park Lane showroom.” Following on from this opening, Fine & Country opened a new office in Cockfosters, Greater London, in March 2015. The office is managed by Murad Choudhury, Associate Director of Fine & Country Cockfosters, who benefits from more than 20 years of local expertise.

Going for gold Now in its seventh consecutive year, Fine & Country are hosting the Fine & Country Gold Cup 2015 at Dallas Burston Polo Club in Warwickshire on Sunday 5th July. Last year’s event saw the Dawson Group Marauders storm to victory in a thrilling final against Quicksilver. The team will return to Dallas Burston this year to defend their title in the Fine & County Gold Cup final. Last year saw over 4,000 guests and this year is set to be bigger and better. There is still time to book your complimentary tickets online. The event is free; however, there will be a charge of £10 per car with all proceeds being donated to the Fine & Country Foundation which is dedicated to fighting the causes of homelessness. See www.fineandcountry.com/polo for further event and ticket details.

A face lift in Dubai Fine & Country Dubai has announced the opening of a new retail shop office in Discovery Pavilion, Discovery Gardens in Dubai, a substantial community mall with nearly 30 shops, a medical centre, a nursery, restaurants and cafes, designed to serve an estimated 25,000 residents. The new shop will benefit from increased footfall from high net worth individuals likely to be shopping in the mall. The new outlet comes just one month after the opening of another office in Dubai Sports City, a multi-venue sports complex, and is a testament to the success of the business in the United Arab Emirates. Matt Ramos, from Fine & Country UAE comments: “Our Discovery Gardens’ office specialises in the neighbouring areas such as Jumeirah Park & Al Furjan, while our Dubai Sports City accommodates communities such as Dubai Sports City, Victory Heights, Arabian Ranches and Jumeirah Golf Estates.”

Risky Rikshaw Run Sean Newman, Director of Fine & Country Warwickshire & West Midlands, is celebrating surviving the extremely risky Rickshaw Run held in April. Running on behalf of The Fine & Country Foundation, Sean and his teammates Tyler and Phil, under the team name the ‘DelhiTubbies’, travelled 3,500 kilometres across Indian terrain in aid of the Fine & Country Foundation. The Rickshaw Run saw Sean and his team-mates put their lives in the hands of their seven horsepower Rickshaw ‘Noo-noo’. There was no preconfigured route planned and no back-up transport. Sean is never far from an adventurous fundraising event and embraced the race, described as the challenge of a lifetime. On the first day the team was caught in the middle of a sandstorm that turned the entire sky dark, resulting in the DelhiTubbies seeking shelter in a local house. With numerous breakdowns over the following days and various broken pistons, Sean, Tyler and Phil often found themselves driving at night to make up for lost time. This is definitely not a challenge for the faint-hearted. NEWS EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

By taking part in the Rickshaw Run, the team is hoping to raise £15,000 in charitable donations which they will match to bring the total to £30,000. Every penny raised will be going to Action Aid, who will use the funds to support the homeless and vulnerable girls of Bangladesh by helping to provide housing. You can still donate to this cause through Sean’s JustGiving page: www.justgiving.com/ Sean-Newman2 – or by texting Deli89 and an amount 70070 (e.g. Deli89 £10).

he European Tour has the privilege of hosting golf tournaments at some of the best venues the European continent has to offer. With events being staged on the island of Madeira in Portugal, the city of Barcelona in Spain, Northern Ireland’s County Down and Malmö in Sweden, The European Tour offers a glimpse of the differing landscapes, courses and cultures that Europe has on display. Featuring some of the world’s top golfers, including Rory McIlroy, Victor Dubuisson, Justin Rose, Jamie Donaldson and many more from the successful 2014 Ryder Cup team, it’s little wonder that The European Tour is so popular. This popularity has witnessed the expansion of the tournament calendar, which now sees a tournament played during every month of the year. With the weather during the winter months in the majority of Europe not being conducive to top quality golf, The European Tour has expanded to other beautiful locations across the world, including the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In fact, all of the events up until March take place outside Europe, some in conjunction with other tours such as the Asian Tour. The first event to be held outside of Europe was the Tunisia Open in 1982, initiated as a means to make the game global and raise the popularity of the sport. A tournament in Dubai followed in 1989 and then it was East Asia’s turn, with the Johnnie Walker Classic held in Bangkok in 1992. During the 2014 European Tour calendar, 55 percent of the events were held outside Europe, facilitating the tour becoming a worldwide event. The South African and Asian markets in particular are growing at a fast pace. As The European Tour expands its global footprint, European Tour Properties is following in its footsteps in the same regions. Black Mountain Golf Club and Resort, Thailand, is one spectacular example of this. GOLF EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The inaugural True Thailand Classic was hosted by Black Mountain Golf Club and Resort, Hua Hin, in February 2015, and shortly afterwards was awarded European Tour Destination status as part of The European Tour Properties network of world class golf venues. “Black Mountain is truly a world-class golf resort and a fitting recipient of South East Asia’s first European Tour Destination,” comments David MacLaren, Director of Property & Venue Development for The European Tour. “It incorporates a stunning 18-hole golf course, a spectacular Par 3 course, has outstanding off-course facilities, including a large clubhouse, spa and on-site accommodation plus a range of property opportunities are available, including plots, apartments, town-houses, bungalows and villas.”

Delve a little deeper and it becomes clear that Black Mountain is more than simply an addition to The European Tour. A number of European Tour golfers choose to make Black Mountain their home during the winter months, including Swedes Johan Edfors and Rikard Karlberg. Professional golfers use the winner of Golf Monthly’s Best Course in Asia Pacific in 2014 for their practice sessions in

idyllic living experience. Yet, there is more in the way of new housing opportunities, which allow the buyer to design and build a property to their own specifications. This makes for a personalised space, within what is fast becoming one of the world’s premier golfing regions.

Luxurious course-side villas available in two configurations – either three-bedroom with an upper infinity pool or four-bedroom with a lower level pool – are the pinnacle of golfcourse living in Asia, if not the world. Expertly designed and positioned, the villa locations are ideal for families, with Black Mountain Resort offering tremendous facilities of its own, as well as access to the town of Hua Hin in close proximity.

“The essence of The European Tour is to bring elite golf to a world stage and so customers playing, staying or buying property at a European Tour Properties venue know that their experience comes with a stamp of tournament quality,” says MacLaren.

GOLF EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

Black Mountain also offers stylish condominiums, which feature modern interiors coupled with spectacular views of the surrounding area and golf course. Available in two or three-bedroom configurations, investment in a Black Mountain condominium (as with all of the properties) comes with life-time golf course membership, in addition to the opulent living space within the resort. If this sounds like paradise, then allow the private pool villas to take you to utopia. These are either two or three-bedroom, each coming with two bathrooms, a private pool, a western-style kitchen and offering an incomparable

Being the first golf course in Asia to become a European Tour Properties venue, the pressure is on. Not only to set the highest standards for all those involved at Black Mountain but also for the rest of Asia. With the full backing of European Tour Properties, there is a level of reassurance when purchasing a property at Black Mountain that this is an investment in one of the best venues within Thailand. The fact that Black Mountain is the first, and currently only, European Tour Properties venue in Asia is enough to recommend a viewing of the superb facilities on offer. If the perfect combination of property, climate and golf exists, European Tour Properties has found it with the Black Mountain Resort, Thailand. n

PARADISE FOUND

IMAGINE A VILLAGE THAT COMBINES THE ALLURE OF THE FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE WITH MODERN AMENITIES, A SHORT DISTANCE FROM CANNES. WELCOME TO PEYMEINADE. MICHAELA WHITE SEEKS A SOUTHERN HOME.

INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

t 630 feet in altitude, spread over nearly 2,500 acres near the base of the Cabris hill, lies the romantically situated French town of Peymeinade. Peymeinade was a relative latecomer to independence. Until 1868 it was considered part of Cabris. It was only in the early 13th Century that a handful of Cabris inhabitants began to permanently reside down the hill, in homes built upon a small knoll at the foot of the larger hill of Cabris. The picturesque town stretches nearly four kilometres southward to the Siagne River and the village of Auribeau, over hills and small valleys. It is crossed by the main road to Grasse, the former Chemin Royal. Today Peymeinade is a small peaceful town, which has undergone considerable post-war expansion to such an extent that it has become the second shopping town after Grasse.

The oldest part of the village comprises a number of pretty 18th Century houses grouped around the Saint-Roch Church, built in 1724. A beautiful round 19th Century fountain adorned with lions’ heads graces this area, and a library with a ceiling painted in 1882 by the “Compagnons du Tour de France” craft guild. Pastel house fronts with blue and pale green shutters, dressed stone archways, Roman tiles in shades of brown, and pots packed with lavender contribute to the peaceful atmosphere in this part of the village.

Along the main road, which has become the central avenue of the modern village, lie 110 small businesses, four schools, a secondary school, a swimming pool, and a major sports complex. There is also the diminutive Saint Mark chapel, erected in 1860, honouring the patron saint of vineyards and wheat. The chapel’s interior is decorated with more modern wall frescos dating from 1979.

To the south of the boulevard lies the Candéou quarter, dotted with cork oaks. A charming walk along the Siagne canal leads afternoon strollers through the hamlets of Jacourets and Jaïsous. In summer, the pine forest known as Daudet Park serves as a natural backdrop for arts performances, including outdoor movie screenings and a jazz festival. In August, Peymeinade hosts a popular aioli celebration (a Provencal garlic-based speciality) to honour the town’s patron saint, Saint-Roch, the former French noble known as the guardian of the plague-afflicted.

Agent Comment Alice Watson-Smith, Sales Director, Fine & Country France It is no secret that the property market in France has had a tough few years. Boosted by consistently low interest rates and a highly favourable exchange rate for those converting into Euros however, the market is turning the corner, and there has been a considerable increase in the number of overseas enquiries, visits and purchases over the last 6 months. January and February are notoriously “slow” months in the South of France – but not in 2015. On the back of booming UK and USA real estate markets, those in the know are making the most of their increased buying power in France and finding savvy investments and dream holiday homes before the property market here follows in the footsteps of its Western neighbours, and while the exchange advantage holds.

Offering a total of 14 bedroom suites and multiple living and relaxing spaces between the two houses, along with two heated swimming pools with pool houses, a summer kitchen, mature fruit trees, wine-producing vineyards and ancient olive trees, this property is nothing less than paradise found. Relaxing in the 16-seater Jacuzzi, it will certainly feel that way. This immaculate property is a delight and something of a rare find. The original Bastide is steeped in history with an old Roman wall, and dates back to Medieval times A 30 minute drive from Cannes and a mere 20 kilometres from the coast, French country living with a historical legacy meets the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera in Peymeinade. n

INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

Steeped in history, this is an undeniably beautiful area and famous visitors are often seen strolling its streets. Within this village, lie two gorgeous stone-built villas, set on a prestigious estate dating back hundreds of years. The villas have been lovingly restored, and feature panoramic vistas and complete privacy.

This property would make an ideal investment because Brigitte Bardot thought so. Everyone loves a property with a story – and even more so when that story involves a glamorous celebrity. For many years, this fabulous historic estate, complete with private vineyards and ancient olive trees, was Brigitte Bardot’s much-loved holiday retreat. She loved the true Provencal surroundings, complete privacy and panoramic views, as well as a slightly cooler summer climate in comparison to the nearby coast. A property such as this is unique on the Cote d’Azur, being only 10 minutes’ drive from the sandy beaches, yet offering all the charm of an original Provencal Estate, that one would normally only find further inland in a more remote location. This property is a true paradise, as Brigitte Bardot would agree.

THE HOME OF PORT LIKE A FINE WINE, THE PORTUGUESE WORLD HERITAGE CITY OF OPORTO IS

TRAVEL EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

UNDERSTATED YET VIBRANT. GISELLE WHITEAKER HAS A TIPPLE IN THIS FINE CITY.

porto, often shortened to Porto, is Portugal’s second-largest city, although it doesn’t have a big city feel. One moment my friend Lizzie and I are at the airport, the next we are being whisked through the centre on an impressively efficient Metro. Chugging through the city, the view as we cross the Ponte Luis I railway bridge comes as a delightful surprise. Colourful buildings dot the elevated river banks on the north side with mottled fuchsia and egg-yolk yellow, the russet-tiled roofs glowing in the afternoon sun. The Douro River snakes onwards below the bridge, sailboats tacking to and fro in the mild afternoon breeze and in Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank the signs of major Port brands vie for attention. It’s gorgeous and we can’t wait to explore more. We are staying at The Yeatman, in the heart of the Gaia district, known for its Port cellars or caves, where the fortified wine is stored and aged. Port is produced exclusively in the Douro Valley in the northern provinces of Portugal. It took its name in the latter half of the 17th Century from the city of Porto, where much

of the product was, and still is, brought to market. It seems only logical then to stay in a hotel that dotes on the beverage. The Yeatman bills itself as a wine hotel, the theme running through the entire establishment, from the elevators wrapped in wine-related imagery to the cellars packed with a comprehensive collection of Portuguese wines. The wine theme even extends to the Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa with the exclusive products and therapies using extracts from the vine. The connection is not arbitrary – The Yeatman family entered the Port trade in 1838 and are among the most distinguished and enterprising of the historic Port families. Their descendants maintain this tradition, owning three of the big Port names and showing a clear pride in their affinity with the grape. The hotel is fully booked this weekend, but the hushed lobby is tranquil. It’s that kind of place. The soaring ceilings and grand scale of the hotel contribute to the feeling of exclusivity, as does its elevation. Seemingly carved into the hill, the hotel is terraced

like a vineyard, every room offering a balcony with a superb view of the city. From the terrace outside Dick’s Bar, named in tribute to Dick Yeatman, the panoramic view is mesmerising as we gaze at the city over the rim of the wine-glass-shaped outdoor swimming pool. We’ll venture back here in the evening to admire the night lights over a Port-based cocktail, but before then there’s a city to explore. Porto is known as the city of bridges, although its first permanent bridge, the Ponte das Barcas, collapsed in 1809 only three years after its inauguration, under the weight of thousands of fugitives from the French Invasions during the Peninsular War. It was replaced decades later by the Ponte D. Maria II, but it’s the Ponte Luis I that anchors the city. The two-hinged double-deck arch bridge’s intricate blue-grey metalwork resembles the Eiffel Tower for a reason – the bridge was created by Teophile Seyrig, a former partner of Gustave Eiffel.

Crossing over the top level of the bridge, the sun warming our faces, our spirits are high. Our plan is simply to idle away a few days here, admiring the architecture, sampling the Port and dining on the local speciality; bacalhau or salted codfish. There’s plenty to take in – Porto’s historical centre contains a plethora of impressive buildings, many of which line the imposing Avenida dos Aliados, a sloping boulevard lined with grand buildings and a central promenade. At the top of the avenue stands the Town Hall,

made of granite and marble, a palatial building with a tall bell tower. Nearby, São Bento’s train station contains delicate blue and white tiled panels painted by artist Jorge Colaço which allude to the history of Portugal and the development of transport. For a different lofty perspective of the city, Clerigos Tower is one of the easily spotted architectural landmarks. The 1763 structure is part of the Clerigos Church, representing its bell tower. It was designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, who was also responsible for the design of many of the other landmarks of Porto.

Closer in to the river is the 12th Century Porto Cathedral, one of the city’s oldest monuments and an important Romanesque monument. The cathedral is flanked by two square towers, each supported with two buttresses and crowned with a cupola. The flamboyant interior of the São Francisco church, dripping with gold on every internal protrusion, provides a direct contrast and the catacombs below are a somewhat more macabre sight.

As the sun fades, we stumble down to the riverside to sip sangria and nibble on tapas plates of cured meat and cheese. On the opposite bank we can see the Telerférico de Gaia, a cable car that runs from the upper level of the Dom Luis l bridge down to the quayside, where the barcos rabelos boats of the Port houses bob on the Douro River. As the street light twinkle into life, we amble back to The Yeatman for cocktails at Dick’s Bar. We have two more days stretching languidly ahead. We will sample the Port and explore the markets, wander down cobbled alleyways and day-cruise under the six bridges. Most of all, we will relax and take in the peaceful atmosphere of this riverside retreat. It’s easy to feel comfortable here. Despite the sun-seeking tourists exploring every nook and cranny it’s uncrowded and unhurried. People walk around smiling under the pure blue sky.

20 Our final day rolls around quickly and we take a dip in The Yeatman’s indoor pool. The city is laid out before us, visible through the enormous floor to ceiling windows curving in a gentle arc that reflects the Douro River’s bends. We float in companionable silence, the vistas making conversation unnecessary. It’s the perfect end to this city break, with only one task left on our to-do lists; to choose a bottle from The Yeatman’s stock of smooth Port from Porto to take home. n Top to bottom: The pool at The Yeatman; a lip-smacking Port cocktail at Dick’s Bar; salted cod; The Yeatman’s wine cellar.

PANORAMIC PENTHOUSE THE PENTHOUSE AT PETERSHAM HOUSE IN SOUTH KENSINGTON MAY JUST BE LONDON’S FINEST ADDRESS. MICHAELA WHITE EXPLORES THIS LUXURY ABODE.

ndoubtedly, the penthouse at Petersham House is one of the most desirable in the Capital. The top-floor apartment in South Kensington offers the kind of 360-degree views that lay London at your feet and remind you of its timeless appeal. In the foreground, the Victoria & Albert, the oratory and Natural History museums are the first to catch the eye. The view from here lends a different perspective than at ground level, with every aspect visible in amazing detail. Look further afield and the London Eye, the Battersea Power Station and the Shard dominate the skyline. Your viewing platform is a 100-foot wrap-around roof terrace with a six-person hot tub. A sky-high soak couldn’t be more appealing in this secluded haven. Petersham House is situated on Harrington Road between Reece Mews and Bute Street, located within close proximity to several transport options as well as the range of shops, restaurants, international schools and amenities that the area has to offer. It’s been there a while – the building has been in existence since the 1950’s – but in 1997 its crowning glory, the penthouse, was added. The architect designed the space to flow across the top of the entire building.

UK PROPERTY EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

Presented in immaculate condition, the spectacular apartment has a direct entry lift, a large double aspect reception, a kitchen-dining room, three bedrooms with three corresponding en suites, a gym and that panoramic roof terrace. The views are not limited to the terrace either; the entire apartment boasts superb vistas. This may be what lured Hugh Grant here. The actor lived in the penthouse from 2002 to 2003 and that’s not the only celebrity connection. The interior was designed by the current owner, internationally renowned award-winning designer Paul Davies, who has worked with stars including Madonna and Elton John. He is a Monaco-based property designer and his influence insures the penthouse is in a class of its own.

The Calacatta Oro marble contrasts beautifully with the solid dark American walnut wood floors, lit by spectacular custom-made crystal chandeliers hanging from the soaring ceilings. Further glamorous touches include the bevelled mirrors, silk-satin bespoke curtains and wood-slatted blinds, as well as the integrated technology features, from surround-sound televisions to the latest kitchen appliances.

PERSONALITIES IN POLO PERHAPS THE BEST KNOWN OF ALL POLO PERSONALITIES IS WINSTON CHURCHILL. BRONWEN HILLER EXPLAINS CHURCHILL’S LOVE OF THE GAME, THE SKILLS NEEDED AND HOW A POLO GAME COMES TOGETHER.

game that involves racing at top speed and striking a ball of 7.5 cm (approximately 3 inches) in diameter with a 53 inch bamboo polo mallet at the opponent’s goal requires exceptional hand eye co-ordination. This is why it is said that polo is a game for technicians, tacticians and spirited fighters.

POLO EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

Historically, the characteristics of a polo player were exemplified by Winston Churchill, both on and off the polo field. His love of the game began at Sandhurst. He regarded his failure to gain entry to the Infantry as a blessing, despite his father’s disappointment. His father’s attitude may have been influenced in part by financial considerations. He reputedly said “in the infantry one has to keep a man; in the Cavalry, a man and a horse as well”. Winston himself saw his aptitude for horse riding as his main, and perhaps only, athletic skill. His desire to remain within the Cavalry was also linked to his eagerness to serve in India.

His Indian dream became a reality in 1896 when the regiment in which he was serving, the 4th Hussars, were deployed to Bangalore. On arrival, his impatience to disembark before the main group resulted in him slipping and severely injuring his right shoulder, which affected him for the rest of his life. This injury created problems for his polo playing, as even slight movements would cause his shoulder to dislocate. In order to continue in the sport he resorted to strapping his arm to his side. He also felt continually hampered by a shortage of funds that restricted his pony power and he constantly appealed to his mother to borrow money to buy ponies. This became important when the Hussars formed a polo committee in order to purchase the entire stud of 25 ponies belonging to the Bombay Light Horse. Such an undertaking, together with constant practice, resulted in the team winning a polo tournament in Hyderabad within six weeks of arriving in India. The pinnacle of success in polo came in 1896 when the Hussars won the coveted Inter Regimental Cup held by the best British team in India. The team from Bangalore, sporting a one armed player, were not considered a serious threat to the 19th Hussars who were firm favourites. When the 4th Hussars scored a record number of goals at the start of the match and were clearly the best mounted team in the district the initial judgement was quickly dispelled.

In later life, Churchill’s advice to parents was not to give a son money but “As far as you can afford it, give him horses. No one ever came to grief – except honourable grief – through riding horses. No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle. Young men have often been ruined through owning horses, or through backing horses, but never through riding them; unless of course they break their necks, which, taken at a gallop, is a very good death to die.” In modern day polo, the individual expertise of players is systematically rated. As with golf players, polo players have handicaps which are adjusted according to goals scored or victories in tournaments. Handicaps range from -2 for beginners to +10 goals for the top players. The term goal doesn’t indicate the number of goals a player is expected to score but rather, rates the value of a player to the team. To the game’s credit, it is one of the few sports where sportsmanship, together with skills and knowledge, is used in rating a player. In open games, as in golf, handicaps are not considered. In handicap games they are used in order to more evenly match teams with players of varying ability. The team handicap is made up of the total of the players’ handicaps.

POLO EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

A polo team is made up of four players. Each player is assigned a number which corresponds to their playing position and role in the team. Number 1 is an attacking position similar to a forward in football. The expectation is that the player in this position will concentrate on scoring goals, additionally undertaking a defensive role for the opposing Number 4 player which may assist another team member to score a goal. Similarly Number 2 is primarily an attacking position supporting the Number 1 position and defending against the opposing Number 3 player. The Number 3 position is normally taken by the strongest player as this position manages the strategy on the field. As a defensive position, the requirement is to turn the ball to an attacking position. This requires the ability to hit long distances with accuracy. The position supports the Number 4 position in defence. The Number 4 position is focussed on defending the team’s goal which pits the position directly against the opposing Number 1.

Imagine a ball coming at you at a speed of 110 miles per hour. You must stay at a gallop while getting your horse in line with the ball and make a decision whether to pass it ahead to a team mate or carry the ball and attempt to score a goal. Needless to say, horsemanship is the basis of a good player, but as with any team sport, the ability to intuitively discern the flow of the game and an awareness of the position of both team-mates and opponents differentiates a good player from a mediocre one. That’s what make a polo match so thrilling to behold. ■

ESTONIAN GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB NEAR TALLINN, ESTONIA Estonian Golf & Country Club, located just 20 minutes from the exquisite capital city of Tallinn, has announced plans to construct a second 18-hole golf course, 150-room hotel in three phases and develop leisure amenities including a spa and tennis academy. The venue, a member of the prestigious European Tour Properties network, is already home to a successful real estate development and the new course, which will complement the venue’s acclaimed Sea Course, rated among Europe’s top 100 courses*, is part of a major development to create a family leisure resort and spa overlooking the Gulf of Finland. Course designer Annika Sörenstam, widely regarded as the greatest female golfer of all time, has been selected for both the calibre of her work - she has designed five courses worldwide to date – and her appreciation of a project that is targeting families and golf tourists from Scandinavia and the rest of Europe. The new layout will command outstanding views over the Rebala National Heritage area and will replace the existing 9-hole Stone Course. Annika said: “It’s exciting to be designing my first golf course in Europe, especially one that is close to home. My objective is to create a course that good golfers will find strategic, competitive and visually appealing, while the design will utilize a variety of forward tees to make it equally enjoyable and engaging for newer golfers and young players. Ultimately, the layout will offer great versatility, from tournament play to resort golf, giving all golfers, no matter how far they hit the ball, a world class experience.” Annika is currently working on course plans with European Golf Design (EGD), the golf course design company of the European Tour and IMG, with groundwork scheduled to start in 2016.
