Captain's Letter

Dear Myopia Polo Members, Friends and Supporters:

I am very excited about the upcoming 133rd season of polo at Myopia! I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge both Franz Colloredo-Mansfeld for the 10 years he devoted to Myopia Polo as captain, and Kim Maguire for her six seasons as manager. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to our new manager of polo operations, Amy Trytek. Having survived the “silent season” of no-spectator polo in 2020 and foregoing our educational coaching program due to COVID-19, I’m pleased to announce that Myopia plans on resuming our full program. Polo professional Estani Puch and longtime coach and instructor Jennifer Williams will oversee our coaching program. Special thanks also to Cathy Taylor, Terri Campbell and Denny Ryus who oversee our marketing and corporate sponsorships, and to my wife Tracy for heading our major social events.

I hope to continue the tradition of high quality and enjoyable polo at Myopia this summer with our United States Polo Association national and sanctioned tournaments every Sunday in July and August. Myopia Polo is dedicated to the development of new and younger players to the sport, and to that end we host the regional National Youth Tournament Series. The fastest growing segment in polo today is women’s polo and we will again co-host the Women’s East Coast Open. There will be polo every Sunday from June through September including exciting tournament polo in July and August and always competitive club games in June and September.

I hope you will continue to enjoy tailgating or attending the special events at the Myopia Polo Pavilion. Please visit our website, myopiapolo.org, or call 978-468- POLO for the latest information on schedules, games and polo lessons. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Best Regards,

Dave Strouss, Captain/Myopia Polo
