MISSION 

To inspire and empower those individuals who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender via the promotion of and participation in the sport of polo.

GPL Polo Club promotes the sport of polo as a means to provide equality, pride, inclusion and confidence for those individuals who face discrimination simply due to identifying themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, gay or other non-traditional sexual or gender identities. GPL works to create an atmosphere that affirms and supports the understanding and acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, sex or sexual identity and works to promotes goodwill and camaraderie in the community

Our ongoing goal is to raise money at our event to help LGBTQ organizations better serve our communities.  Our battle cry is “the slightest difference makes all the difference”.

ARGENTINA

December 2021: 

December 2019: 

GPL returned to Argentina, the mother-country of polo.  GPL members attended the semi-finals and finals of the 126th Argentine Open Polo Tournament.  During the week, we traveled to Lobos to experience three days of polo with Andres LaPlacette, a five goal player. 

Andres, known as Lala, organized morning stick & ball sessions and afternoon matches. 

Each polo team had two GPL players plus two professionals which ensured the games were open and fast.  The ponies, polo and pros were top-notch.  Evenings were spent fire-side at the asado. 

December 2016:  

It was a privilege for GPL members to play with the legendary Eduardo Heguy, the four-time winner of the Argentine Open. Heguy was a 10-goal polo player and played in 31 consecutive Argentine Opens.  

Eduardo and his team produced three wonderful days of polo at his private polo club,

El Remanso.  On the final day, Heguy organized a GPL tournament at Chapa Uno Polo Club in Pilar.
