WHAT:
The Maharaja of Jaipur and the Royal Jaipur Polo Team, sponsored by Sanjay Kasliwal Jewelers, played in Southampton against a select USA team consisting of Joe Meyer, Nacho Figueras, Bruce Colley and Davis Colley.

Bruce Colley, US Ambassador to the International Federation of Polo, organized the few days of exciting polo, as well as a tour of New York City including a stay at the beautiful Carlyle Hotel.

The select USA team consisted of Bruce Colley, John Klopp, Craig Callen, Guy Merison and Max Langlois. The heritage and tradition of Millbrooks Hunt country and rolling green hills was a beautiful backdrop for the day. This prestigious club attracts thousands of polo enthusiasts each summer.
