Airfare and car rentals are not included in the package.

The weekend's activities begin on Friday evening, with a spectacular Centennial Celebration cocktail reception and dinner party at the International Polo Club. Many polo players and patrons will be in attendance.

The U.S. Open will be played on the International Polo Club Palm Beach's five world-class Bermuda-grass playing fields and teams will also take advantage of the many private fields in Wellington.

"There's no place like Wellington or Palm Beach. This is the mecca of polo," said John Goodman, who founded the International Polo Club Palm Beach and is patron of the Isla Carroll team that will be playing in the U.S. Open. "I think everybody comes here to win and compete at the highest levels.

"We want people to feel comfortable," added Goodman. "You can get dressed up as much as you want or you can come in jeans and a t-shirt. It's a place for families to come and enjoy the sport and grow together."

Historically, the U.S. Open has always been the grand prize of polo in North America. It is one of only three tournaments played at the 26-goal echelon, the highest-rated tournament in the United States. The first U.S. Open title game was played in 1904 at Van Cortland Park in New York City where the Wanderers defeated the Freebooters 4 ½-3, the lowest scoring final in the history of the tournament.

For ticket information for the U.S. Open, please call the club at (561) 204-5687 or visit the website at www.internationalpoloclub.com. The International Polo Club Palm Beach is located at 3667 120th Avenue South, between Pierson Road and Lake Worth Road in Wellington.
