Surely you jest. What about the Guards Polo Club, in the shadow of Windsor Castle? Or how about the National Polo Center in Palm Beach? Not to mention the always potent Argies, in Palermo and elsewhere.

Before we select our favorite, let’s review some criteria: the best club perforce will emphasize the basics, the ball striking will be sublime, and the energy imparted to the ball, per unit of effort, will be definitive.

So we can dismiss the stylish uniforms, the stately clubhouses, the skillful players. We’re looking for the essence of the essence, that damnably elusive “per unit of effort.”

And on those grounds, we push past all the other candidates and select the NickawampusPoloClub blog.com

And again, surely you jest….a club with no field, with just one player and two horses, one rideable, with neither games nor tournaments?

Indeed, that one player, yours truly, has the best, most exclusive swing, by generating more acceleration, per unit of effort, than anyone. And given Einstein’s Equivalence Theorem, acceleration =s gravity, we’re manufacturing gravity on the grounds of the club, a modern day Manhattan Project.

All the rest can come later, but the real beginning takes place on Mapp Rd. in Melfa, VA. Ya’ll come.
